The Fire Poem by Adeola Babalola

The Fire

Rating: 5.0


Fire is good,
i tend to put my hands
and it burns.

Never start that fire,
if you do, many might be left orphaned.
Many more will starve.
And that woman there,
you might not see again.

Don't start it.
That i myself knows not,
what fate would give me.
Because, he has not choosen to be my friend sometimes.

So, when you choose for us,
watch it!
That you might not cause more harm than good.

Yes fire is good when it is used to warm people, cook food and benefit diverse cultures and civilizations. But your warning is succinct, 'That you might not cause more harm than good' as simplistic solutions and military interventions in Africa and throughout the world have repeatedly proven. The warm fire of love and peace is a better policy.
