Floors Made Of Fire

 










Floors Made Of  Fire


An effigy, they tell me, is not the real thing

But a stand-in for a man

A made from rags or straw or resin

Rolled up newspapers or bits of paper

Kind of doll-thing with no soul.


It's symbolic of something hated

Something they want to destroy but haven't

The guts to destroy

And so they burn the effigy.


It makes them look like big bad terrorists

When they are only simpering cowards

Holding torches and shouting words

That pierce the heart like swords.


Fire should be saved for cold winter nights

Fire should be savored as a life giving gift

Fire should be kept in a locked deep stone box

And shared among frozen friends.


But there are those that deserve the fire

And not for warmth and not for life

But because their hearts are filled with hell

Effigies of men-without-souls shall be given to the flame. 


To dance alone, eternally burning

On floors made of fire

Forever. 


To dance alone, eternally burning

On floors made of fire

Forever.
