Fire burns all that touch

 

Leaving scars to those who are foolish

 

It cooks our meat, our food

 

Giving nutrition to further life

 

It rages with fuel

 

And dwindles when smothered

 

Spreading with just a spark

 

Burning forests and killing life

 

It brings warmth and a sense of home

 

But if wronged it will take all it gives

 

It brings wonder, terror, life, and death

 

Do we control fire? Or does it control us?
