Forest Fire

The animals wailed to the almighty king of the jungle,
"We broke our slumber and found ourselves in flames of raging fire
Thee save my fawn from the danger,
Caused by the foolish sapiens".

The lord of the jungle leapt into the blazing fire
Hither and thither in search of the fawn,
Could not find it and got underneath the tree,
Wrenched in flames of the fire, with bruises all over.

The furies soon took over the soul of the mighty 
And Hades rewarded Elysium to the dead
Said, "Oh mankind, what you did!"
