She screamed as the flames licked her skin like a hungry animal 

Some people were throwing in paper

Some people were pouring on gasoline

Others walked by holding fans and buckets of water

Help me help me

They didn't stop, didn't acknowledge

Why she thought, why aren't they helping

Why are they just watching me burn?
