Fireside flames
Fireside flames
Low they burned and the waters churned.
The froth of blood foamed at lips.
Boiling hard, blackened and charred
Impaled on another's tips.
Smouldering ashes and lost caches.
Pockets deep now lay hollow
Bared feet and holding signs on the street.
Growling stomachs follow.
The flames leapt but upside down crept,
As green turned to deep red.
Sleeping they swore while the brave wore,
More than blankets over head.
Many left their cry to battle and fly
Giving up while the light died.
They will come when greater the sum,
To their work is applied
When they arrive will they survive
The new who has replaced old?
People with power and much less sour,
Forged in the moments of cold
Greater than a word and less of a herd,
Both ends of the candles burn.
While the sleeping dreamed of keeping,
The hardy worked to earn.

... Where is everyone?
Makes me want to fire up my fire pit in the back yard. Love staring into the flames and contemplating life. Relaxing.
I miss having a fire place. At the park event yesterday they had these around so people could grill bread, sausages and marshmallows on sticks.
Sounds like my sort of event...
Very thought-provoking poem. It can be read as an indictment of so many human mistakes involving fire and people burning. I guess that connects with modern mistakes regarding the krypto world and the bear market we are struggling with.
I want to be counted among those who did not go to sleep and kept working to power up and harvest on a better weather.
Great allegory (assuming you meant it as such).
Reminds me of steemit and how people leaving this platform will be very surprised to see us newbies have made headway when they come back when prices bounce back
Fire is one of the most powerful, transforming elements there is, @tarazkp. The Bible says that the world will be destroyed by fire. From hell it is also said that there are great flames. The one who covets, the corrupt, the one who feels a passion, lives in an eternal fire, a flame. Fire is a symbol of destruction, but also of change. A very clever poem.
At the end of the day we'll let the fruits of our labor speak for us
