Burnt

The sad sorrow of the grieved trees
moaning and groaning in despair
as the bitter fire spreads around
this marvelous place
me and many others
call home.
I can't stand the ear piercing roar of the fire
swallowing the beautiful forest around me
my heart aches like a stab in the stomach,
why?
why me?
why my home?
