I first wrote a version of this poem in elementary school. I think the fourth grade. Here is my best attempt at rewriting it with more life experience.

I am the father and son of fire

When you see me, you know trouble is near

You may also ignore me

And remain comfortable in ignorance

But if thats your choice

Its only better for me

Because your inaction

Will allow me to grow stronger

To the point where,

Even if you do decide to act

Your fate is already sealed
