Fire: A Poetic Series Poem by Sam Cronk

Anger

Injustice is my enemy,
Unfairness, I oppose.
I can’t stand inequality,
My anger falls on those
Who don’t agree.


Destruction

Its rage upsets the earth,
And its thunder fills the sky.
If you hear its wrath approaching,
Then you’ll know the end is nigh.
It walks the path of carnage,
Leaving chaos in its wake.
The road that meets destruction
Is a road that none should take


Love

Change, it brings,
And peace, as well.
Opposition,
It will quell.
It overwhelms,
And, once you start
To love, you’ll know it
In your heart.


Hope

When darkness falls,
And shadows creep,
And nightmares haunt you
In your sleep.
Do not give up,
And do not weep.
Hope is waiting,
Take the leap.


Purity

With all your might,
You must endure,
And keep your soul
Both clean and pure.
Above all else,
You have to fight
For purity,
And for what’s right.


Life

The road is rough,
And filled with pain.
Ancient words
Do not pertain
To current trials,
In all but this:
Don’t use your life
To reminisce.


Fire

I am Anger, the fury that resists injustice.
I am Destruction, the bringer of chaos and death.
I am Love, the burning passion of the heart.
I am Hope, the beacon of light, shining through the darkness.
I am Purity, the untainted glow of honor and virtue.
I am Life, the ever-burning spark of vitality.
I am Fire.
