Devastating Bushfires
By Antonia M
The trees slowly collapse. They can’t take it anymore. The fire sweeps through. With no end in sight, the citizens give up.
Koalas scurry, but not all can survive. Imagine running for your life.
Their homes, burning down and no one can do anything.
Firefighters try but perish in flames.
Men, hopeless. Women, terrified.
Their land disappears. In a blink of an eye, everything changes. What’s left? Nothing.
Cradling their babies and grabbing their children’s hands reassuring them everything will be fine. Though, they know it won’t be. Nothing will ever be the way it was again.
Farmers left speechless, as they watch what was their house and land being destroyed in the raging fires.
If only this was a dream and these people could enjoy their lives once more.
If only adulthood was the way you assumed it to be during childhood.
