Humanity is addicted.
Habituated to the horrors of our own creations.
We are consumed
by the wild, willfulness of the flames,
by the power we have to create them
and the power they exert over us.
We listen to whispered temptations.
Then we watch, in fear,
as our self-ignited fires spread.
While in the backdraft, we are immolated,
consumed by them.
We, the burning match,
and kindling.
