good evening world. Tonight Punam has asked us @#dversepoetspub to pick an opening line from a list of poems to use as a closing line.
A.A. Awesome arsonists.
#dversepoetspub
Outrageously Depraved individuals,
Only beyond this point,
Burn baby, burn,
Barbeque politicians’ assets.
Why?
politicians are Wicked,
Wicked fire starters,
Burning the poor to feed,
their own egotistical needs.
A.A. Awesome arsonists awake,
Come fry its Friday,
Do you have a light boy,
Goodbye dear friends,
It was a pleasure to burn.
Last line was the opening line to Ray Bradbury Fahrenheit 451.
A book which is still on, my to read list.
Two songs also came to mind while writing this.
The crazy world of Arthur brown’s Fire.
Firestarter by the Prodigy.
The book Firestarter by Stephen King is well worth a read.

Rog, fire is such a versatile word. We should use it as a Q prompt. I liked what appears to be arson as an act of rebellion. Haven’t heard that first song in forever. It’s a good’n. I liked the 2nd video. Is Firestarter by King horror or something else?

Are USAsians just waiting for democracy to start working for them? Do they think that the next president and government will make things better? I don’t see a road back from what started on November 22nd 1963.
Great, frustrated write Rog 👏
