Challenge
Write a micro-poem conveying an important opinion or view in as few words as possible.
The criteria is only that a micro-poem is written showing as much meaning as possible from the writer on a specific topic (preferably) labeled at the end of the piece. The idea is to share strong, complex feelings in few sentences. (Not sure how many will see this, but for those who enter, thanks!)

Light Me on Fire
I'm not afraid of infernos.
Brought up in flames,
I learned to devour.
I fear candles,
The small wicks,
Melting bodies,
Distorting to the ground.
With the pressing of two fingers,
A single gust of wind,
Lack of oxygen and
The candle will
No longer be a candle
Until the next time
It is lighted.
