Once there was a fire

It burn both big and bright

Giving all who saw it hope

with it's enchanted light

It gave back to those who fed it

Protecting them with it's warmth

Then one day a stranger came

He promised the fire fuel

Posing as an ally

But when this Phantom Menace

Finally kept his word

He poured something on the fire

It bought with it many clones

The fire gratefully accepted

Thinking in was fuel

That is what began it

The Attack of the Clones

At first they fueled the fire

In this Clone War

It accepted them as friends

When it's trust was highest

That's when the table turned

The clones that once fed it

Now smothered it instead

It felt like ice all across the galaxy

Oh how cold it was

Revenge of the Siths

That's what they all called it

this cold dark feeling of woe

But somewhere among the ashes

Some embers sill burned

Some searched though the ashes

Rebels they were called

When they found an ember

They fed it and protected it

But the ember was too cold

Then one day a single spark emerged

It land near an ember

It's warmth was just enough

The heat refueled the ember

Together they ignited

And a single flame emerged

Now those that were the closest

They saw and fed this flame

Slowly this new fire burned

Spreading far and wide

Word spread about the fire

Those that heard about it

They gave this fire fuel

Now the fire could really grow

It fought away the darkness

Among it flying sparks there

Was a Rogue One

It flames effected all

The fire found other embers

They helped the fire spread

Then it reached the farthest ember

Now A New Hope ignited within

The darkness didn't give up

It had itself an empire

And The Empire Strikes Back

That only fuels this fire more

It started to burn brighter

The rebels now rejoice

For what this fire bought with it

Was the Return of the Jedi

Now all could see the fire

The freedom was restored

Many help to fed it

It rewarded them as well

Other wanted to destroy it

The darkness they preferred

They attack the fire

But this fire was too strong

It refused to die down

Now this fire erupted

The Force Awakes inside

Casting out it's hopeful Rey

A spot light on The Last Jedi
