Burning House

The fire burns high into the sky
Burning everything in its path
Fire is destructive, killing and destroying
No one knowing how it was started
Lighting up the sky
Reaching up so high
With the walls up too high
Everyone burns to ash and soot
Run, run all you want you will never get out
Look at them all run
Scared for their life
Not caring about anyone else
They should have seen it coming
The fire burns with hot, hot flames
The flame engulfs the people in an instant
They are now all dead, all in that little house

Good one...I see the poem from a different angle...I'm a saggittarius and it's a fire sign. My flame sometimes engulfs people around me but like a real fire I'm not that destructive...:). Awesome stuff...much enjoyed!!!
