No One Should Burn

Two women set afire,
One Russian, one Chinese,
First the editor of Open Russia,
Who struck the match, no pleas,

Her home was searched, with daughter and husband,
Electronics taken,
Accused of no crime, but critical of,
The government of Vladimir Putin,

Plus a Douyin star in rural China,
Was doused in gasoline,
Then lit by her violent ex-husband,
While she was in mid-stream.
What does this mean?
The world's a nasty place,
No one should burn, even by accident,
Never for being of the human race.
