Awake my
people, open eyes
Pay heed to - someone cries
Pay heed to - someone cries
Edify and
be conscious of what’s around
Permit not
indifference to surround.
Beware, what's eternal desire
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.
