Burnt

So you tried to get it done,

Strengthening your resources,

Your funds,

Your needs,

Clear as day you go,

But don't see,

As billows of smoke swallow,

The buildings,

Lead by a fiery wake,

So many plots and none to take,

Never had a chance,

Did too little,

Now too late,

Those who did,

Are gunned down on this laid grid,

Boxed in all along,

The cleansing didn't take too long...
