It all started on a dark night,

When our house lit ablaze.

My brothers and sisters

Never exited the house.

We never found their remains.

The fire chief said they burned

Down to their last bone,

But we heard rumors of sightings

From towns not long ago.

We heard threats in the past

From men who hated our father,

But the police insist that it

Was just a mere electrical fire.

Did they escape, or were they taken?

I must sleep now and find out in heaven.
