(May edit later)","content":"Fire  \nDestruction or Creation?\n\nFire,  \nexplosive, engulfing, destructive  \nGrows out of control in mere seconds,  \nconsumes every thing in its path without second thought,  \nDestruction?\n\nEven when contained,  \nit still ruins.  \nThe reds, the yellows, the oranges  \nblues, greens, whites;  \nThe dancing of the flames in a light breeze;  \nThe crackling and sizzling of the fuel;  \nThe smell of burning;   \nAll enticing to the senses,  \npulling you and everything in  \nDestruction? Maybe!\n\nFire doesn't destroy,  \nit creates, gives life,   \nessential heat,  \nlight, gives way to early warning.  \nDestruction? More like Creation!\n\nIf put to use correctly,   \nfire will produce metals from ore,  \nit can clean water by boiling away contaminants  \nClean bacteria from medical supplies  \nDestruction? No, Creation!\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
