Fire in You
(For Fela, late legend of African music)
 
Man. there's fire in your breast,
Incites the blood in your veins,
Turns you restive as a bristling buffalo;
 
Man, there's fire in your face,
Blazes from your breast,
Blinds Medusa’s eyes;
 
Man, there's fire in your voice,
Fuels the anger in the ogre's heart,
There’s fire, there is smoldering fire…
