PPC#20 Anarchy [256] (Campfire)
Anarchy

This is how it started:
         a ring of stones,
         cold bare earth,
         a campfire lit
meant to shed some light,
some warmth,
some heat,
         enough to boil water,
         brew the coffee,
         steep the tea,
enough to awaken this world
that preferred to sleep.

And this how it ended:
         an errant scrap of paper
         lit then borne aloft
         carried on the wind
to where the waiting tinder glowered,
welcomed its glow
its light, its power
         to fire the imagination of the angry world,
         enough to burn it up,

enough to burn it down.
