The Destruction of Hope
Firey red sparks flew,
Terrified wildlife fled,
Scared lost Roo,
Filled with dread,
Destroying homes, hearts,
Humens and hope,
bringing sombre new starts,
No-one could cope,
Many lives lost,
Firefighters fought,
At a terrible cost,
In the flames they were caught,
Destroying, spreading, Spotfire's,
Grey ground covered in ash,
flames stop for a bit, but are liars,
Burning shops, crops, cash,
Teary eyed children wave good-bye,
To their burnt, black homes,
Where old memories lie,
And their gohst dogs roam.
