A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.

I love these snap, short endings you are sharing. Yes, we need to share compasssion, smile and if only everyone would stop being so hateful.
