All it takes is a successful strike
1
born into this world
I must eat I must satiate the craving
hungry
yes
hungry
I may be small but I have an appetite
2
feed me a log
the big ones are best
all those chemicals to feast on
and ignite me
you,
the feeder
care for me
and I eat
from you
3
I haven't been fed
in too long
if you don't care about me
release me
I promise not to take your house
please
4
I have shrunk in your ignorance
as I slowly smoulder on a branch
I am soon to return to the dust I have made
because of you
this is your fault
my death
is your fault
5
I am suffocating in this metal prison
I can see you stare at me
exploiting me for heat and light
jokes on you
I am soon taking my last breathe
6
I have returned to my destruction
disintrigrated myself into ash
I feasted upon the dead
until I joined them
goodbye
