The Soul on Fire

what if I said …
there is no need
to put off a fire
if it burns untruth,
if it burns ignorance,
if it burns stereotypes.

the eyes are never on fire;
it’s only the window
through which you see
the soul on fire.
so let it burn …
let it burn the weeds …
let it burn regression …
and pave the path to progress.
