Mad bonfires, smoky clearings,
long haired seers, alchemists
Lit by righteous men
With matches
Bonfire witches, village squares,
damsels in distress
Lit by righteous women
With matches
Revelations burn,
heeding God’s Word
Gideon leaves a book
of matches
Black ghettos, white crosses,
cremancipation
Lit in brimstone
Cities burn, worlds turn,
Revelations on fire
Lit by fools
With matches
