Fire, Fire, Fire

Ask not for whom the planet burns.

It burns for you. It burns from above.

It burns from below. It burns day and

night. Fire within, fire without. The

fire in a poor man moves him along

the road. The rich man moves with

the fire of two hundred horses and

more. The poor man makes a fire to

bake his bread. The rich man keeps a

fire for everything he does.

Scientists tell us the planet is

warmed by the heat trapped in the

atmosphere by the gasses released

from combustion. Then, where does

all the heat go that is generated by

the very same combustion? Does it

rise to heaven? No, the gasses trap it

and keep it close. Yet, the space

heater we call the sun, relentlessly

warms the planet every day,

regardless of the fires burning on the

surface of the earth. Perhaps there is

no scientific evidence that more and

more fire can contribute a thing to

global warming. The average person

has no difficulty understanding that

more heat will boil their water, cook

their food and heat their house to a

point of discomfort. But then one

needs only to open the window and let

some heat out. Perhaps we need only

create an atmospheric window to send

our excess heat out to space, where it

belongs.

On the other hand, we might want

to use this heat to melt polar ice to

dilute the pollution in our oceans and

create great new seaports on brand

new coasts. This would surely

promote global trade. People could

then spread out and live on the poles

that have been so hostile and

uninviting. Perhaps the polar ice has

been patiently waiting to absorb the

heat that would require billions of

people to generate. Maybe polar melt

is necessary to the cleansing of a

fouled and poisoned planet, where the

rich will create protected personal

environments and the poor will serve

them in the great outdoors with a life

expectency of thirty years. Then we

could afford to double and triple the

poor populations. No need to panic

over global warming, poisoned

atmosphere, soil and water. Rich folks

will clean what they require and grow

their food in personal greenhouses.

The poor, as always, are highly

disposable commodities who accept

their destiny. Let us use them and

throw them away. It’s just the way it

is. The law of the jungle. Consume or

be consumed.

Come, let us ignore that

democratic solar fire which falls

equally upon both rich and poor and

mine our fire from beneath the earth,

where some few can profit and control

the destiny of slaves by the billions.

Come slaves and buy our fire with

your lives, that you should not live in

vain. That you should not forsake

some simple comforts in the name of

liberty. For we are the fire men, the

kings of the New Age. Bow before us,

worship and serve, that you might live

another day.
