Fire Safety

You have no business telling  someone
to calm down  
If you are the one that
ignited their fury
 
That’s like setting a flame  
to an open field of dead brush  
and then asking the flames  
if they mind just quietly  
putting themselves out  
 
No, life doesn’t work that way  
If you wanted to play with fire,
you should have been more careful  
You set the match...
I suggest you get the  
fire extinguisher  
 
or pray for rain
