Unrequested Death

Fire consumes the world
I am alone.
I cannot comprehend
why they would do this?
They say that it is to defend,
but how is that?
I didn't hurt them,
I do not know them,
I have never been there.
An explosion shakes the windows
and they shatter.
Time slows
and I know that these seconds are my last,
agonizing seconds that last lifetimes.
They say that "your life flashes behind your eyes."
This is a lie,
that I know.
White ripples across the horizon
the end is near,
how cliche.
Death approaches,
a heavenly white.
