Elemental — A New Poem

There’s nothing hungrier than a fire
A flame’s appetite is voracious
It consumes everything in sight
Leaving nothing but ash in its wake
*
It has a weakness in water
The cool and blue equalizer
Sniffing out flame like assassins
And the legacy, forgotten
*
When water and wind mix, no good comes
Together they play the destructor
With nothing but chaos on their minds
They smash and carve with unbridled ire
*
And so we turn to Mother Earth
We rebuild lives in her image
Yet we ignore the warning signs
As the death cycle goes again
*
