A Glimpse of Hell
A GLIMPSE OF HELL
dark smoke and ashes testify
devastation
orange sun glows through the haze
hauntingly
cruel fierce flames soar scorching
territory
epitomizing
a glimpse
of hell
houses burnt to the ground in
amputation
natures creatures dazed in fires
traumatized
scalded and blistered die
pointlessly
symbolizing
a glimpse
of hell
the valiant fight and endure
courageously
parched lips and bloodshot eyed
dedication
we stand reminded that without
Salvation
an Eternal
damnation
awaits us
detonating
a glimpse
of hell
