Father of the Phoenix,
Symbol of human hate;
You are quite the master
At controlling one's fate.
Twisting and dancing 'bout,
Close to feet of children;
Heaving your flame to drought
Anyone you please to hurt.
Feeding from the black fuel,
Living within dark hearts;
Not caring who will die
Nor how toxic your art.
"Burn, Burn, Burn," forever chant
Your blaze-bearing minions;
Casting your shadow rant
Of red and yellow flames.
Born to aid the human,
Abused for callous schemes;
Twisted to devastate
Nature's beauty of green.
There was once a good thought,
To let you roam freely;
Dreadful shame you were wrought
And breed, as **Bastard's Breath.

Your poem is good. "Anyone you please to hurt." I would change it if you are editing because it doesn't connect very much to the line above. -
