The Fire Danger

There's a fire danger in my brain,
It once was green but now it's yellow,
The threat has escalated, is no longer mellow.

There's a fire danger in my brain,
The drought has dried it out,
It's put rationale to rout.

There's a fire danger in my brain,
People flee when it's alight,
Because the rage is much more bright.

There's a fire danger in my brain,
I need the streaming, cleansing rain,
To lower its despairing pain.

Now,
Before the threat turns red,
And a misplaced spark,
Kills my head.
