Severe disaster brought
Ruination and disruptive vegetation.
A scorching breeze increased devastation,
From unscrupulous persons unknown:
Hidden fierce fire
That spread rapidly.
A hush,
For no life could be in evidence,
Except for stouthearted firefighters
Risking their cherished lives.
A wild dry wind swirled suddenly.
Smoke became untamed,
An aching purgatory
No ocean can purge.
The fiery cloud
Covered the forest green;
Moonlight snuffed out,
Concealed, tormented,
A message of ill will,
As children cried and gasped,
Families were reduced homeless,
In hurry to elope from the tragedy.
Helpless animals unable to escape died.
A taste of vandalism,
Or terrorism?
Or man made climate change?

Small Saudi the boy
Five years or so
And jovial the toy
Intriguing the foe
Six year he wrote
Every time a pen
A drop of flight
To land a new story
Every melody that come
Carrying the tunes of hope
The dance fuming soup
For all that knew
Saudi now stouthearted
With a promised utopia
Every ink drop debased
To quell apparent dystopia
At last a book length
Not a toy full ration
Saudi the man and gentle
For history the olfaction
