Empty Places

Empty buildings. Empty families. Empty Country

Gawkers searched overhead at the unfamiliar rumble of roaring jet engines

Gaping hellgate flames and black smoke billowed, paper drifted, figures fell

Crematorium dust flooded streets filling nostrils with death's acrid remains

Bitter forever reminders of horror, the taste of their ashes never departs

Nothing left. Empty space. Althought bright, you can never touch the light
