Red fingers of flame licked his body

Devouring every part of him

Creeping into his burning arms and legs

He screamed, willing it to stop

He had never wanted to be brave

But badgers never falll

All around him were the fiery pits of hell

The devil himself consumed his body

Reaching up and tearing out his beating heart

Another life taken for a worthless cause

His name would be carved into stone

And everyone would remember him

Sky Ellis.


Here is a poem that doesn't rhyme. This is Sky's experience of death.
