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
