Like Flames

LIKE FLAMES Like flames I see them burning ever so brightly, their colours of orange and red covering me in waves of heat. Soon I will be reduced to carbon and smoke after being burned alive. I could ask for nothing more, such a beautiful death that we all fear but there’s nothing to fear. It’s like a B-17 going down over Berlin, it has to come to earth someplace – what a stunning sight to see when it does, all those people burned alive, in pain. Today I’ll settle for a 747 in her death dive, full of screaming passengers who will be roasted alive in the beauty of fire.
