Can't you see
the bodies burning
covered in flames
that shudder slowly
reaching higher
never stopping
fury grows brighter
with every flicker.
Bodies.
Sparks crackle
and flames burn
letting off a warm heat
that fills the air
with a most horrible smell
of burnt human hair
and flesh.
Scream
scream
scream
You want to help
the bodies burning
covered in flames
that shudder slowly
they reach higher
never stopping
your worry grows brighter
with every flicker.
How to stop the flames?
How to stop the flames?
Throw on water
nothing helps them
grab some sand
to suffocate
the flames,
the flames...
they're still burning.
Now you see
that it's too late
the flames have grown
so high into the sky
you can smell the flesh burning
hair aflame
your stomach's churning
on and on the torment thrives
and now you see
the lost lives
of all the flames
and bodies burning.

Last line - 'burning bodies' perhaps?
Other than that - enticing piece of poetic words. Your flow is intriguing and nicely casted.
Thanks for entering,
