Their shame burnt like the kerosine that coated them.
Each one trembling with fear, regret
They suck in a gasping breath as it ignites
Their shame burns with them
The fumes breathe the scent of their doom.
They've settled as ashes, burnt as a pack of matches
Their stories untold, their shame shall unfold
