The Fire



Awake my people, open eyes 
Pay heed to - someone cries 
Edify and be conscious of what’s around 
Permit not indifference to surround. 
Beware, what's eternal desire 
Throw a fit off - into the fire 
Thirst for not of mortal, 
With fire conquer the infernal. 
Why are you, an enemy to thyself? 
By your heedlessness, slays the dictates of fire. 
You connive and hate not others but self 
Beckon bedevils to thy memory,
Fumigate peace and bury harmony. 
Why brutal world, pleurisy and levity?


N.B.:
This is similar to a sonnet wherein the fire is compared to conscience that dictates to do right & avoid evil. We need to be conscious of ourselves. When we plot others actually it's plotting not others but ourselves.


Meaning of the context: 
edify: to improve someone's mind ( here, one's mind)
mortal: here, earthly pleasures
fire: conscience
infernal: very bad, evil or qualities of hell
slay: killing, murder or neglect,
connive: secret plan ( illegal or evil)
bedevil: confusion, difficulties
fumigate: (here) use evil means to destroy peace
brutal: cruel, violent
pleurisy: serious illness in which the coverings of the lungs that becomes red and swollen,
levity: lack of seriousness(or love); cruel
indifference: lack of interest in someone or something; insensitive
memory: (here refers to) life
