The fire consumed
Our gaze
And the masses
Moved in slow motion
Crawling over horizon
A sea of people
Tidal waves crashing
Into the media’s view
Pain and anger flaring
In outstretched arms, screams
Wanting to burn down the system
That justified death in narrowed views
The fire engulfed
Our gazes
And the city burned
Loudly in their shouts
If you listen
You can hear the wailing
The slow motion
Of mourning families
Washing over the city
Tidal waves crashing
A sea of people
Voices, a fire echoing
Along city streets
Poetic Trials
