Cleansing flames,
Started in the alleyway,
Burning bright
Through the night,
Takes the broken homes away.

Climbing flames,
Rushing up the dirty brick,
From the trash
Shadows cast,
Inside lays the old and sick.

Rising flames,
Tired, weak, unable to move;
Drifting smoke
Starts to choke,
Nothing to say or to prove.

Deadly flames,
Comes dancing under his door;
Watch the flames
Feel it tames,
Now he finds his nevermore.
