The hurtful fire

I woke up to a flaming morning
I ran, but the fire caught up
I was surrounded by the hectic flames
I couldn’t get out
I could smell the smoke
The poor spotted gum trees were up in flames
The ground was hot
I could see the wild animals were crying in pain
I could hear the trees crashing
There was nothing I can do to help
Something nice change to stop these wildfires
