Fireman's Glory

I wrote this Thursday in Goodman's and finished it Friday during lunch. Somewhat short too, which is odd. There are...so many interpretations. Yet, I think it's very timely. So many ways to look at it. So many subjects. What's yours? Comments?

Fireman’s Glory

Burning wood and fiery cries

Sound the alarm of midnight skies

The fireman comes and runs abound

To deceive and say that all is asound

Except for the one that decides to scream

And from he, tears fall in a stream

As the fireman decides on his strike

With a torch the shape of a pike
One by one, they fight and die

Leaving their lies with a final sigh

Until the sun came up asoon

And the seeds began to bloom
