the cry of the children

The cry of the children

Caught up in the storey

With fire unkind blazing heat

It laughed in its burning snarl

The words couldn't flow

The children stared at the evil fire

Blossoming with heat of claiming lives

It dance in full naked heated blow

The screams in the fire

The smoke of wood and flesh

The screaming of death in the air

As the evil fire played on its deathly riffs

When the evil deed was done

When the heat was gone

When the fire had died down

It left behind the charred remains

The sadness of lives gone

There was no escape staircase

The windows were grilled up

Perished of lives mistakes made
