The time our country changed

Raging fires fill the way,

19 million hectares, destroyed.

3 billion animals, gone.

Hundreds of thousands of acres of habitats, annihilated.

The bright red flames light up the dark and gloomy sky,

Why did God do this? Why? Why? Why?

I love this ochre country,

But is this not too much?

The blaze of aplenty

We have got to start pulling the clutch!

4 years later and our land is suffering.

The remains of the conflagrations, still evident.

The destruction, undoable.

It was the time our country changed.
