The Koala in the Tree

I smell smoke

I smell danger 

There is a Bushfire coming my way

I smell eucalyptus

Here comes the ranger

putting out the fire 

I see the flames coming up into my tree

why does this fire have to come today

I see everyone evacuating

I see the helicopter trying to put out the fire

I see the fire trucks as a helping hand the key to put out the fire

I taste the smoke burning down my throat

might as well put eucalyptus down it to stop.

I clutch onto the burning park

I hold on to the tree with all my might.

I hear the screams of everyone around me

I hear the splashes 

I feel danger,

I feel scared, I feel nervous, I feel the smoke,

I feel death what should I do

please do not make me die soon I might say goodbye  

Please Pray for me.
