Without The Fire, There’s No Flame Poem by Obed dela Cruz

Let it burn I tell you, let it burn.
Abhor bad works and begin to learn.
It’s time to have honor instead of shame.
Without the fire, there’s no flame.

You’re hearing bad reports from the news.
Fight crime so that this good image we’ll not lose.
Everything we do should have a reason.
Give good ideas to change this nation!

Let’s start a fire that can’t be extinguished.
May this world arise from being destroyed and crushed.
We must have a great reformation!
We must construct a firm nation!

Be the mortal enemy of crime.
Now, this ere must be the best prime!
Justice and mercy must be practiced together.
With life and liberty we must fight forever!

Without being a human being,
There’s no good future awaiting.
For me, I’ll change in a positive way.
I’ll live for a great cause in my everyday!

Without the fire, there’s no flame!
Without the fire, there’s no flame!
