Bushfire

Vast ocean of green,
stretching beyond human eye.
From faraway, it can be seen,
a place where all animals thrive.
But under all the great,
beyond the leafy bush.
One person changed its fate,
one person made a push.
From one small blaze,
to a forest, alight.
Through all the smoky haze,
a bushfire, owns the night.
It travels with great haste,
using the green as fuel.
It was greenery that charcoal replaced,
but the blazes hunger was never fulfilled.
