myself
I reach for my necessity, absorbing what I can then eating more 
 Spreading conquering destroying 
 When I part I leave nothing but ashes 
 My food is life, I consume 
 Homes, trees, and flesh 
 I contaminate all that I touch 
 My by-product lifts into the air poisoning others breath
 I radiate power 
 
 Anyone within any distance of me feels my heat 
 I am vibrant and glowing 
 I am a signal to those far away 
 A temple calling its pilgrim 
 I can be good or wicked depending on my purpose 
 I come to those in need of my shelter security and heat 
 For those that need me for their food 
 Yet often I am called as a weapon, 
 To destroy 
 But you need me 
 I am you only advantage over other beasts 
 For you are my chosen people 
 Only you hold my chains 
 Only you have the keys to my cage
 You know how to use me when I don’t know myself 
 All I want is more and more 
 I am consumed by greed 
 I have no self control
 And I die when there is no more for me 
 You know this 
 Because of this you regulate me for your benefit 
 You exploit me 
 If I am good or wicked can never be the question for I don’t control myself 
 You control me I have power but no will, to use it 
 Only my actions are good or vial and that depends on my master 
 You
