the furious
beast sought
its luscious feast
spreading everywhere
devouring all in sight
seeking to please
its insatiable appetite
with all that was there
as the charred waste
blanketed the sky
with its smoke’s dye
and gloom’s scorching taste
meshack
shadrack and abednego
faith is put to the test
no matter where
we would go, the furnace
would be there
denying the weary any rest
from the soaring flames of the west
oh, the fire this time
destroying yours and mine
if there be heaven on this earth
this must be her hell’s inferno’s birth:
though fueled by evil dante wind
the flames of satan will not win.
