Consumed by Revenge

He moves swift,
Driven by what he'd lost,
His spirit holding dearly,
Onto the handle of vengeance -
Once purposeless, now driven towards it,
With full force,
He runs at unstoppable speed,
With no limits on energy and capacity -

Oh who says energy is conserved?
It radiates from the one driven by purpose,

The heat rising, he flies,
All around becoming his tools,
The flame of hatred blazes,
Ready to burn,
His enemy with a bat* of his eye,

He runs so fast,
He outruns his body,
Carrying it like a tool in his hands,
A twig to kindle his fire of revenge -
One that he'd eventually throw into it -

They talk of revenge consuming him,
But little do they know, that it already has -
A fire that begins within,
And burns him, and the whole forest down.
