Useless Fires in Dancing Sideways Is More Fun: A Collection Of Original Poetry And Songs

Useless fires burn brightest,
Intimidating all.
Misspent brilliance, wasted flames
Wane, and quickly fall.
The wind will blow them down,
And rain shall put them out.
Hasty tumult, reckless rage,
Dies as fast, and is in vain.

Destruction is a fleeting thing;
We're constantly reborn
Of fires that burn less bright, and yet
Their lasting light adorns
The kind and patient face of life,
To clear the clouds, and calm the night.
Rage and darkness, all are gone
With Useless fires, that die at dawn.
