Aaron Bushnell Died for our Sins

As the flames grow, his body soon begins to lose its Battle with mortality. Inside the flickering wall of orange And black, the image of his melting flesh and our festering Sins being washed clean shocks those who have never seen Either. As the specter of redemption rises to hide our Shame of inaction, police rush to help him with their favorite Tool – a gun. The fire blisters and flays his skin, his body Collapses, pneuma escaping, and more guns show up To assist, a parody of the weapons of genocide being used half a World away. Our terrified guardians work to keep us in the dark. The state tells us truth is terror, and compassion is weakness. We must be protected from radical ideas like these. More guns arrive on the scene, because cowards have no other Tool against moral courage. A fire extinguisher eventually Appears, too late to help, of course. But they keep pointing Their guns at his smoldering frame, for our protection.
