fire

It no longer conjures up visions of a long relaxing

journey

instead,

images of charred remains, mangled flesh and burning cries

flash on the screen of my thoughts

just as they appeared before several others

as they watched  a funeral in a flaming bus

caused by a deadly  potion – a cruel concoction

of politics and violence,

of morals let loose to feast on the carcass of society.

Hands, wet with the petrol of corruption,

hearts, hollow, doused in the spirit of evil fervour,

eyes, wicked in their brutality as they watch life set

ABLAZE,

an evergrowing , infectious disease infested

upon the soul of humanity.

Today, as I remember it all,

my eyes turn moist with the smoke which engulfed the bus

of existence on that fateful day,

my tears, useless,

incapable of destroying the sickening stench

of metal and flesh,

of inhumanity and creation.
