Modern Sati

A pyre of fire impatiently waiting for victims 

A group ready for the show voluntarily or not

Innocents victims are walking towards the pyre

The flush is burning and screams fill the air

They were pushed to the very center of the fire

Yes this way victims will be burnt to death while alive

Wow! they sacrificed themselves for the betterment of values

"Hey murderers, is it the modern sati ? "some one shouted

Linda, this one is very strong and disturbing. Excellently worded, though. Fire can be a proving ground, a purification, or just a horrible way to die. One small thing, though. Last line could be improved by adding a comma after Hey Murderers, and quotes around "Hey murderers, is it the modern sati?" Someone shouted. but otherwise, really really good. Thank you.

many have sacrificed themselves for the sake of others...for the betterment...it is a sad truth that these sacrifices are necessary....needs a bit of editing, but well chosen words to convey this concept.
