The Lighter
A all burning flame

A blue flame,
with a golden top.
Point me at things,
you want to make real hot.
What you light on fire,
is the choice of you.
Is it from a desire,
you’re compelled to do?
I am just a tool.
In your hand I fit.
Are you a fool,
to do another hit?
Do you inhale,
smoke of a burning mass?
Did your future I curtail,
as your life goes floating past?
What good is a lighter,
I may be confused.
When I get a human higher,
then your soul you might lose.
