The fires

Kenny O'Donnell

The tinderbox has been struck

Fire blazes in the wind

Burning all it touches

A misdirected rage

Once lit hard to quell.

This fire has smouldered

For too long

And burns

Across the dried fields

Of a nation parched

Of virtue.

Now a vengeful blaze.

How long before

The winds

Turn on those

Who struck

The first match

And brings the fires

With it.
