Sense Sonnet - Chiller

Hot Time in the Ol' Town...

Centralia, Pennsylvania is
A town that really is on fire,
All thanks to the coal mining biz
That caused a long time burning pyre.
For decades the fire has burned on,
Beneath the ghost town underground.
Even the town's zip code is gone.
Land is eminent domain bound.
The government gets to decide
What will happen as the town turns.
The government's quite qualified
To fiddle while all about burns.

Town killed off by coal burning flame -
Did inspire a video game.
