the flames,
smoke shooting
over rooftops
relentlessly.
No one could help
the children,
helpless souls
pleading,
banging on windows
As the toxic entity
tore through
their home.
No one could stop
the tragedy,
One careless spark
evolving into a
nightmare.

ah, getting the news from poetry, I am. Sad tale. Thanks for offering witness in this manner, Cathleen.
