An innocent
Spark
From the grinding
Of metal
Ignites a piece
Of dry grass
Caked
With an oily
Substance
Breathing in
Surrounding
Oxygen
The blaze
Begins to take shape
Following
The trail of
Liquid
That shouldn't
Have been there
Black smoke
Starts to rise
At a rapid pace
As a sea of red and orange
Burn brightly
In the night sky
Animals
Smelling the burnt
Grass and trees
Seeing
The light spreading
Flee as rapidly
As possible
Only a few minutes
Have passed
And already
The blaze
Has spread across an
Acre of land
The same land that was
Due to be marked
As a historical
Landmark
The very next day
Now to become
The historical blaze
That should not have been
