The Entertainer
Lights flicker before the eyes
Hues dancing upon the sky
Voluptuous curves for all the marry
Hair fried
Knees bruised
Nail’s popped off like a cherry
There they lay all nice and crisp
It just took one match
Now to switch
Screaming, begging for life
Eye’s glazed over like a fresh pie
The wood creeks
It sobs
Just be thankful to be alive
Fire scourges through the woods
More matches to make it misunderstood
I have a name
May it be Arson
All I do is cause destruction
Many animal’s dig for life
Hot as coals
Hot as ash
Happy birthday
Time for cash
Hey…
Do you have a match?

Whoaa, this was a really good read. I like your use of different colors and font attributes to highlight certain sections.
