In Fire

How would it feel if you've to breath your last in fire?
Everything your heart loves, be cast; aghast! in fire!

Living can't see afterlife which weakens beliefs:
You'll decompose to soil or God will cast in fire?

I never thought of having your corpse in my arms;
Your death in my life is a massive blast in fire!

All combustibles burn with heat and ashes, but
Qualities are different which create contrast in fire

We're participants of a strange competition
Diving in firepool to see who'll outlast in fire?

Everyone, honestly, told me about one's life
Second half will pass on flames, first half's past in fire!
