Burning Building - An Original Poem

in poem •  6 years ago

The towering government building
That sits on the hilly street
Is burning.
Now, its roof is engulfed in fiery flames
That rise into the heavens
Like Abel's sacrifice.

The street is littered with people
People who call themselves human beings
Human beings who take selfies
Selfies that show rising black smoke in the background.

The firefighters are on their way
But will never arrive the scene
Until the minister's office becomes dust and powder
That tombs the sins of many years.
