Sparks

Sparks flew in circles;
pretty patterns delighted
children in the next town.
They didn't know
these fireworks
weren't meant to be.
They didn't know
three people
fought for their lives...
when the factory exploded
and ignited that memorable
light show in the sky.

I watched a show about this happening somewhere, where a warehouse caught fire, and then caught the fireworks inside on fire. The fireworks were shooting like missiles at the people around. Then the part of the warehouse where they manufactured the fireworks exploded and the amount of explosive chemicals in that part of the building caused such a huge explosion that it wiped out like 4 blocks of residences and killed all sorts of people.

They said they could see it for miles around, and felt the blast even farther. Anyway, I'm rambling, cool perspective in this one.

As I mentioned in email, I wish I had seen that show. Maybe I heard about it. I can't for the life of me figure out where this came from.
