A big fire <br />Devoured our house yesterday <br />And it sounded loud like a bomb <br />Vulcan the god of fire <br />Must have been loud and angry at us <br /> <br />A big fire <br />Devoured our house yesterday <br />And it sounded like a bomb <br />The fire we use to cook our food <br />And then i spoke to the fire <br />And it said to me <br />“ I was formed when men were in caves <br />And i was used to cook their raw meat <br />In the days of long ago and the dinosaurs” <br />Thou goddess of fire <br />You bleached the earth on creation day <br />Producing the human race <br />You give light to mankind <br />You fly high <br />In the netherworlds of the Universe <br />Naked humanity in thine sight <br />Burning like an inferno in the human heart <br />Now is the time to stand and stare <br />Every bush bows and burns before your might <br />Your arms reaches outstretched <br />Thou purifier of thoughts and metals <br />Thine incandescent light fascinates and scares me <br />Thou goddess of fire <br />Dancing in the midst of charcoals and matchsticks <br />Lighting upon men anew <br />You are in my sitting room today <br />Burning men and me to carbon dust <br />You came from the bush centuries ago <br />To set upon the ideas of men <br />On the dawn of civilization <br />When we were nothing <br />But cavemen without learning or thinking <br />And the men ran helter skelter <br />For they were afraid of thee <br />Men thought you will go <br />But you did stay <br />Men thought you will go <br />But you fell from heaven again <br />Burning every bush fire <br />I run out of thoughts for thee <br />Thou goddess of fire.<br /><br />larry Philosopher<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/inferno-an-analysis-of-the-goddess-of-fire/
