Refiners Fire

A Poem For The Sincere

The battle for truth is
waged upon untruth
When the flames have consumed all and the smoke has cleared,
Only truth remains

Destroy everything. Burn it all.
Incinerate even your heart.
Throw your soul into the furnace.

This is the Great Conflagration.
Nothing false will survive.
Nothing true will perish.

This is the process.
This is the war.
The battlefield is you.

If you don’t like it,
don’t do it.
It will always be here,
waiting.

- Jed McKenna (Refiners Fire)
