He's going to burn!

He’s going to burn – I want to see.

Forty thousand family members assemble from far and near,

bringing creations and selves to share;

to this annual reunion, giving to a community with collective soul and reason.

Together, we celebrate our man’s creation then pre-ordained ruin:

an inferno – his destiney lighting the blackened sky.

Flames journey from his ankles towards his neck.

Multitudes rejoice around this shrine and pyre,

his final fall brings cries of exaltation,

A blissful gathering: a carnival of dance, (covered in ash).

He’s going to burn – I have to see.
