Fire Works

Blossoms of light

Pollinate the night

Whistle and a boom

Chemical reactions in their bloom

Light travels faster than

The Sound

The Rockets stream up from the

Ground

A cacophony of explosions

A gunpowder plot

A chemical reaction

A Catholic blot

We burn the guy

We light our fires

Catherine wheels

For funeral pyres

And every year

Someone maimed

Firework burn

But no ones blamed

For its just fun

This incendiary date

It's all forgotten

The religious hate
