THE CHARMERS OF FLAMES

Respect deserved

THE CHARMERS OF FLAMES

WHILE YOU FLEE
FROM THE FLAMES
IN TERROR AND FEAR.

I RUN TO THE BLAZEĀ 
DESPITE MY FEARS.

THOUGH FLAMES ASCEND
WITH FEROCIOUS HEAT.

I CLIMB THE LADDER
WITH STEADY FEET.

WHEN THE ALARM SOUNDSĀ 
I SPIRAL DOWN.

RACING TO THE FIRE
WITH HEART, GUT, AND WATER.

I NEED NOT KNOW YOUR NAMEĀ 
YOUR ETHNICITY OR FAME.

I RUN TO THE BLAZEĀ 
DESPITE MY FEARS.

Totally agree with you JP.
Firefighters put their lives on the line every time the alarm sound, to save others. I think they need our support and encouragement.Ā 
Thank you JP.
