Enlightenment

Controlling a candle flame
Is a lot like meditating,
Except that the malicious intent
Is only seen in your never-ending
Quest for enlightenment.

so very true...

...by how is it come to that?
and how so 'malicious?'

...and what is the number for 911?

Is it malice? Spite? Hope? Or merely a wish for power?

Can that be phrased as "merely"?

Either by asking for more knowledge, or more fire, what do you embody?
