Bushfires (Revised Edition)
Folder:
Bizarre/Death raging tongues of fire one savage day,
devouring lives and things away;
the crackling sound of destruction
has paved a cracking ground
to stomping feet and screaming fits;
leaving traces of ashes in a tray.
properties done; memories gone
of life full of fun,
all were swept in that blazing windy hell
blasting deadly fireballs,
ferociously licking everything away.
heatwaves of temper rose
to infernal heights arouse;
like adrenalin rushing through the veins:
hard to control; to extinguish was vain.
smoke clouds impeded visions
choking breath to death of treason;
firemen, sirens and whistle tops,
buckets of sand, even tons of rain
proved helpless under heaven's curse.
bushes, houses, shrubs and trees fell
lives so precious melt who can tell?
now the place is dead and bare.
