2019 Black Summer Skies

Black summer skies when all the trees die
Bushfires damaged our home
To the animals and to us all
The Pygmy possums, the Corroboree frogs
They all got lost in the fog
Ashes and red are in the air
While the fires are burning at night
Two moons appear
The Koala holds on to its dear life
Hoping it will survive
Firefighters are busy, while the wildlife are waiting to be rescued
The fire sways across the mountains
Mother nature is crying while the trees are dying.
