Fire-Fighter (A Preaching Fire-Fighter) Poem by U Win Kyi

Fire-Fighter (A Preaching Fire-Fighter)



In some people's mind, there exist 3 fires,
which must be put out as they are undesired.

They are GREED, ANGER and IGNORANCE,
and their bad consequence.
Once ignited the fire get fuelled by oil of hate,
and get fanned by air of annihilate,
into a giant raging flame,
spreading to other places...so wild and insane,
burning all the things into ash,
killing many people to death.

Looking back the previous wars,
erupted at the time...not too far,
in Afghanistan and Iraq,
taking away the civilian and soldier's last breath.
Farther looking into the human history,
will reveal many wars and its misery.
Millions and millions of people perished,
in WW I and WW II inferno blitz,
started by the tiny spark,
of GREED, ANGER and IGNORANCE without LOVE.

There are many fire-fighters without helmet,
but with the shaved heads,
without wearing the fire-proof vest,
but with their bodies saffron clad.
They are the Buddhist monks,
praying for peace to have a new chance.
There are also Christian priests praying for a glimmer of hope,
for peace, lead by Roman Catholic Pope.

They all are the peace- preaching fire-fighters,
to teach how to extinguish the fire of GREED, ANGER and IGNORANCE with a LOVE water.
