Fighting Fire
Alicia May Niehaus There is a fire burning And it seems to never go out Its burning red embers always spreading And will continue without a doubt There are those who will just stand and stare Watching as the flames tear the world apart Thinking it pointless to even care They let others play their part Then there are those who will fight fire with fire Who think they could put out its heated rage Instead they only make the situation more dire Since all they do is enlarge its stage. Finally there are those who choose to fight with water They are the only ones who can keep its heat at bay In this case, the strength of the inferno will never matter Because even a drop can send it’s flames astray. There is a fire burning And it seems to never go out Its burning red embers always spreading And will continue without a doubt Alicia May Niehaus is a Senior. She wrote this poem for Ms. Barbour's Poetry Today Elective Course.
