Fire and Fury by Mike Ferguson

Fire and
fury echo
the past

dark words
of the
dark past,

words of fire
and words
of fury

dark as
the dark past
where words

worked their
anguish
after the

knowing of
their meaning
of darkness.

Fight fire
with fire
he thinks,

fury with
words as if
they matter

before
or after the
darkness.

When words
matter, he
must think

better, better
than dark
thoughts,

or others
must speak
and think

for him.
Words have
meaning

and saying
them can be
dark,

but not as
dark as what
meaning brings.
