about

Red.
Red as the blood of all those whose flames were extinguished early. Hints of orange and yellow with a tuft of hair that was a striking shade of blue. This fire was burning, but no one had seen it. It was burning in the veins of the people, and when it is seen it is often accompanied with a guttural scream and a demand for justice. Justice that was often overlooked.
Justice.
The justice that is often power masquerading. The justice that the fire would burn down. The fire in your fireplace lighting your room with an orange glow, illuminating the dark corners in your room and soul. The fire that would burn down all impressions of superiority and bring up the shadows of the monsters that you don’t see otherwise. These are the shadows that keep you up. This is fire. Fire is not our tool. We are a tool of fire. We are bringing forth more offspring, burning away life and souls, and only when you least expect it does it burn you, leaving a mark, showing its pure rage, its power, and the possibilities.
Rage
The fire burns with rage, and red hot anger bringing down everything around it. But with each thing it brings down, it grows. It feeds off of anger, and feeds your anger. The fire can release your anger, and use you to release it’s anger. The double edged sword that fire is, that is what you hold and use to warm your hands. That double edged sword is what you call music that excites you. You must be careful with the fire, or it will brand you as its own; you will be one of fire’s children. Careful.
Careful.

What is a candle or fireplace in the eyes of god? What is a lake or ocean? But a human? The sea is so vast, the lake is so small. What are Hinduism and Christianity in the eyes of a nonbeliever? Nothing. What is green and orange in the eyes of one who can not see color? All are the same. All are equal. Then what makes this double standard? If one wishes to be treated as a god, they must see as a god. They must see equally, and they mustn't use their power to attack or single out one or the other. We must look at the candle and flame as fire, the lake and ocean as water, and green and orange as colors. All are the same.
