Firestorm

Fire, fire around us… Fire burning from the top of the mountain, down to the sea surrounded by fire… Grass, brush, and trees are just glowing ambers… Fire fighters on the ground while water dropping helicopter are all around, drawing up water from the sea, brought back to drop over the hot spots … Here come the water tankers they are a blessing between them and the helicopters we should soon see relief… Such a shame what fire does, and it was that idiot playing around, like to look at the flame dancing… Water shred gone homes burnt to the ground and yet that idiot is still running around… What justice we should have to put these fools behind bars, lock them up and throw away the key… Firestorms are nothing you want to see, and when the season gets hot and dry who are the nut cases that televise… Newspaper and newscaster should learn a thing or two keep there opinions to themselves for all they do is let those idiots know when prime time to burn… When property is lost you can rebuild but when a life is lost they are gone for good… By Sandra Lea Hoban ©2012
