Fire of the Kiln and Bones

Red, orange, yellow, white
 licking at the wood so bright,
Burns the flesh,
 charred bone colapes
 gone, melted in to the flames,
 As I burn to the last cell.

(After)

Bones of the dead, 
Diffrent by looks,
 but all hold the same story 
of the flames consuming them.
Body, soul and faith
 stolen by the devils hands

Stark and disturbing, which is what I think you intended...this is one poem where explaining the context might add more.
