Fire Never Distinguishes
Fire Never Distinguishes
Fire never distinguishes among the objects of its salvation
A young maiden, an old man, charcoal or shimmering gold
The flames only engulf with burning rage the recipient of its touch
Turning everything to ashes perishing it from the face of earth
Such is the law of the cosmos that differentiates none, rich or penurious
No humble faith can seek alleviation for the offence of its souls
For the karma cannot escape the supreme savagery of its expiation
The universe measures each felony inflicting barbarous retaliation
Mankind has obliterated the palpable procedure of civilization
Arduously probing with strength and vitality for the limits of sophistication
Abandoning righteous nature, banishing all virtues
Thrusting the bosom of mother earth with a sword of limitless greed
Stamping her crown with a foot of polluted trash
Harrowing her womb with painful tines of modernization
It is not about the believer or the agnostic, but about mortal intelligence
All weapons of demolition are non-existent in the quiver of humanity
Nature has provided bountiful riches for the survival of its creation
Into the bargain its clay also delivers elements for mass destruction
The beauty must be embellished with ornaments of good deeds
Its abundant supplies and life forms to be valued if not worshipped
The thunderstorm shall else continue to bless the wretched civilization
With flames of fury and laws of universal creation
Certainly it would not separate the affluent and the erudite
For voracious greed can cool its heels but ravenous hunger cannot
