Cremated

Boom.

And that was it.

Over in a second.

A house full of memories.

A family full of hope.

No room, no letters, no fish and chips.

All over a colour,

Of somebody’s skin.

A fire so unbeatable.

By the time it was over.

They’d already gone.

Nothing more than a sprinkle of dust.

Scattered amongst belongings.

Dead and cremated, all in one day.

No funeral, no plans, no real goodbye.

Dead and that was it.

Cremated over nothing.

A mother.

A father.

A teenage girl.

A newborn baby.

And their dog.

Dead and cremated, all in one day.

All over a colour,

Of somebody’s skin.
