Fire in my Head
There’s a fire in my head
That flows through my arteries
Through my fingers
Into the words on this page.
It can make you jump
Or make you sing
Or turn your thoughts
To rage.
For there are those
Who would stymie fun
And control
Your every thought.
They strive to instil
Their doctrine
Into everything
That is taught.
That fire burns
And rages
That they should all
Be opposed.
For if we do not
Have the right
To be free
Nothing can be supposed.

Every time I read about injustice or intolerance it fills me with a rage. For there are those who would tyrannise, exploit or destroy – and they need opposing.
I’m glad I’ve got a fire in my head.
