Embers of Change The Palisades

In the shadow of the Palisades, where fire ambers flicker and burn/
  cities ignite, nevermore to excite never to return/
 neighborhoods wrapped in a storm, memories won't fade/
 evacuate, evacuate, fleeing through the  storm of smoke/
 Children with no schools to embrace, "Mommy, where will we live?"/
  innocence lost, crying in the ash/
 Santa Ana winds howl, destruction painted in flames, each blaze a beast, ripping apart the heart of L.A/
 A symphony of sorrow, where pets wander, cats and dogs, faithful companions, lost in the chaos of an apocalyptic event/
 Men and women, firefighters, first responders, heroes draped in resilience, charging into the inferno, with hearts ablaze, fighting for the fragile, for the life that flickers In the depths of despair and rage/
 Charging into the flames, Brave souls weaving hope through fire and smoke/
