Forest Fire
Forest fire engulfs a fleeing deer
Ignited by some John Doe.
Raging heat turning deer to venison
Engulfing the innocents to die.
Nature as no defence when fire comes to call
tree or creature doomed to be turned into charcoal .
At man's command acres burnt, life extinguished
Nature wounded facing an uncertain crossroads
Fire and flames respect no borders
Buildings burning, barns engulfed
Created by nature or man made matters not.
blazing backwoods encompassed
And just for the sake of a barbecue ember
or the smouldering butt of a smoke.
