Australia bush fire (poem)...
She tried to fly away
But her wings succumbed to the heat And she fell in the raging flames.
He sprung his feet to escape the blaze But his other foot caught a rock And the blaze mercilessly consumed him alive.
She dropped a pod on the ground like tear. The world was watching and her cries were being heard But that wasn’t enough to stop the destruction. Wave after wave the monster ravaged her bark.
He held his tennis racquet With sweat greasing his palm.
His serve was less offensive As burning nature offloaded a cloud of bad air.
The fire had become a cascading carnivore, Consuming everything that was stuck on its path of destruction. It stalked and struck like a serial killer.
It hunted like a hardened predator.
It bungled homes like barbaric burglar.
Haunting its victims before they even slept.
Who had provoked this monster
To unleash a reign of terror on Australian ground? Why was the monster not sympathetic?
Whyc did it find pleasure in destroying flora and fauna? Why did it not spare homes and sanctuaries alike?
Who triggered the hunger and left it famished?
Who, what, where, why, when?
Australia is bleeding and the world is weeping. Centuries of conservation have been lost. A blinking eye. Just like that.
