! Fire In The Hole (Social Commentary) Poem by Alice Vedral Rivera

Masked arsonists playing
With pyrotechnics
Misconstrued
Interpretation
Unmitigated
Misrepresentation

Combustible
Elucidation
Molotov cocktails
Thrown in for good measure
Anticipating
Spectacular blast

Ruffled feathers singed
Well intentioned bystanders
Strike the flint - add
Vitriolic fuel
Attempt to fight fire
With fire backfires

Wiser ones put up
Containment field of
Indifference until the
Burning blaze of
Fireworks subsides and
Wildfire devours itself
