What Burns in Here?

The sun graces your bronzing skin
But what burns in here?
Hotel, ramparts, parapets—
What burns in here?

Flag outstretched and hands are too
But what burns in here?
Kissing bibles, monitors—
What burns in here?

Fanatics killing screaming names
But what burns in here?
What is this within the flames?
What burns in here?
