While smoke and flames around me roar,
and air so faint I can breathe no more.
I fear no evil in this hour,
for I am with a greater power.
And when the danger finally ends,
I’ll spend that time with my friends.
For ours is not to fear or flight,
ours is to the fires we fight.

Poetry, like any other art form can be esoteric or exoteric. Oscar Wilde said “Be yourself, everyone else is taken.” Therefore, I prefer an exoteric style in my poetry in hopes of avoiding any esoteric pretense. Ernest Hemingway is quoted as saying: "There is nothing to writing. All you have to do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed."
