Fires are intentionally set

When I was still a first-year I did some research

Just as a science project

I looked into the danger of wildfires

I discovered that in some national parks

Fires are intentionally set

Just to clear out underbrush which restricts the growth of the older trees

It makes perfect sense

But addressing the concept baffled me

Setting a fire on purpose could help preserve the life of a stronger entity

As long as the fire is contained

So all those little arguments that seem like wildfires

Might not be so bad

Maybe they are to clear out the so called "underbrush"

The minor things that restrict the growth of the stronger entity, that is our relationship

Shouldn't the stronger entity come first?

As long as our arguments are contained,

I believe they can help us to grow

Because I read somewhere that fires are intentionally set

For a better purpose
