when technology found a way to start a flame with a flick of the finger
the lighter emerged like a metal Prometheus sharing the secret of fire

with designs that reflected the times, lighters lit the way for cigarette and cigar smokers to conveniently fire up wherever they were

the styles evolved over the years reflecting society’s luxuries and utilities

from the start, lighters have told a story about their owners history
carrying their burdens for the world to see

lighters have more purposes now than ever before
they’re cheap, flashy, and in every store

lighters can be works of fine art

or cartoonish art

there’s so many designs to see
that reflect our history
I leave you with the following three…



Love the history and the rhyme. I’ve seen a few lighters in my time.
Nice Dave.
