what point in that
a personal hell
brief but
horrible
drenched in that
which is
denounced
becoming the fuel's
further fuel
flames bursting
flare
like the inferno
of a sun'******br>
blood-colored reds
yellows, oranges
hot white
flesh
scorched
charred
blackened
licked
tasted
eaten
by the hungry flames
putrid stench
self-induced
death
to make a statement?
were those final "words"
even "heard"?
above the sizzling
sound
of
sanguine
sacreligious
sacrifice
Read today about a prominent lawyer and environmental activist who burned himself alive to protest use of fossil fuels. So pointless, a strong voice self-silenced.
