External combustion of a spontaneous nature…

I have no idea where this came from, it just came out...I don't know what category to place it under...e

Poem Artwork

BOOM,

Blown apart with flames rising,

The body does burn, fast & surprising,

I hope herein I do not do sensationalizing…

 

Fire races from heel to brain,

Skin does melt, one wishes for rain,

Too hot for to be extinguished,

Wasn’t suicidal though definitely self slain…

 

Once out, the body is blackened,

What is the explanation of this self cataclysm,

Can it be explained, or is it beyond belief as well,

This fire came from no where, can one explain away the smell…

That was PeeWee in that picture, or you were so wasted that don't remember inviting us to your BBQ? PeeWee pissed me off drinking next to all my Coors and tried to run from me and...well the picture says it all.

This is true from what I have heard...when I was a kid my grandparents told me of a man that lived across the street from them who was sitting in his car and went up in flames. The car did not burn, just the seat in which he sat. Fried him to a crisp....no gasoline involved, but internal combustion the culprit...
