CLEANSING BY FIRE

Burnie was born in the depths of hell

Inside a fire pit that he knew quite well

His buddies were devils, evil and mad

Their boss was called Satin, a demon and bad.

The boy was immune from the heat and the fumes

Surrounded by smoke and sizzling hot dunes.

Flames were his neighbors, fire his friend

A place stained with ashes from end to end.

He was charged with keeping the fires lit

By tossing in bodies that hissed and spit.

He was hypnotized by the red hot flames

And the corpses that no longer had a name.

The sinners kept coming, no end in sight

They grew in numbers, morning and night.

Burnie was a hero, 'cuz the world was now cleansed

By the fires that forever, he was charged to attend.
