The Blazing Cry

It’s a monster eating trees, slow yet powerful,
Bright orange takes over the blue sky,
The smokey aroma fills the atmosphere,
Burnt. Burnt. Burnt.
Devouring anything in its crisp, arid land,
I see the last bit of nature, fall to its death,
At least I know I’ve tried my best,
Blaze. Blaze. Blaze.
The monster jumps and leaps from one place to another,
Trees turn to ash, and my patience ticks,
Everything is burnt, even a tiny stick,
Run. Run. Run.
Finally, it’s slowly dying out,
Bright blue, spreads across the clouds,
Victory is here, we should be proud,
Safe. Safe. Safe.
