what child playing with matches

ignited today's hell on earth?


the shaking match?

the jumpy flame?


what child has stopped the future

with his own petulant yearning?


this utility of arrogance?

this consumed misadventure?


rather than look afield

for yards toward acceptance

it's better waiting than not

he will reveal himself again and again

until he'll combust on power

leaving his own ashes as his lasting purpose on earth
