Like A Wild Fire Poem by devon da poet

Like a wild fire you've gone astray so many times, running away from the truth.
You believe in yourself, that's great, but there are more to life than self-approval.
All I desire is that you think a bit harder, try to discover the inner man.
There's someone way more significant, someone you can know more about if only you take the time to understand him better.
He is waiting, he is knocking, and he is calling your name.
He wants to be a part of you again.

Like a wild fire, you've burned your way through the great hills of denial.
Rejecting the one that you once knew.
In your own pursuit for success and good name, you've abandoned the great one.
He longs for restoration, but only if you insist.
If the rain didn't fall yesterday, how closer could you have arrived to achieving those mighty goals of yours?
And if the sun has ceased to out pour its rays of light what food would you have eaten to survive through those nights?
In your own strength, you're nothing but emptiness.
Your courage is feeble without the inner man.

Like a wild fire your heat have melted away all that were good in you.
Now you walk as a vagabond. Just like a scavenger you strive to devour the rot and dead.
Like a viper your aims are of malice.
You have adopted new practices.
As you burn the tree of life in you, you become more and more reprobate
Your mind has been infected with strife and hate.
You don't love and appreciate the inner man any more.

A great man falls and get back up on his feet
A greater man stands up and face his disasters
To fight against a wild fire you must pick up your extinguisher.
It's the only way you can escape.
When your heart begins to pour out huge gusts of smoke.
Just cover your nostrils and flee from it.
For a wild fire never give up so easily.
When you prepare to fight also prepare to struggle, with the intents of triumph.
For those with a warrior spirit will overcome even the hottest obstacles.
