    Wow, this is a powerful and thought-provoking poem! Your use of concise and impactful language really draws the reader in and conveys the message effectively. I love the metaphor of the world falling into a pit - it's a vivid image that really resonates.

    My suggestion for improvement would be to expand on the idea of the 'flame being lit'. What does this flame represent? Is it a symbol of hope or destruction? Adding a bit more context would help to deepen the meaning of the poem.

    Overall, great job! Keep up the excellent work.
