An Arsonist's Manifesto

by @brian-miller

Flash! Bang! Crack! Puff! In an instant In one moment History is gone like the wind Like the cries of prisoners who yell "Save us!" But me...me, I look, smile and wonder So I walk with my lighters With my gasoline and my torches Ready and willing to wipe out a "Sanctuary" This "place s of residence," this "castle" Or so they say.... So the fires dance around wildly, excitingly, Like some liberated dancer on the dance floor Screaming, shouting, "I'm free!" ....But I'm trapped..... Trapped in my frustrations, my fears, and my pain So I unleash it all In one second of glory, of wonder...of freedom... So while your home, your school, your hospital, gives its final farewell to this Earth For once I'm flying So count yourself lucky Because I could've done a while lot worse...
