This is Australia

Fire as red as blood,

I watched the flames

go in the air.

I could taste the grief

of those who lost 

their homes, families 

and pets.

Smoke wafted through Australia.

It was like an avalanche of fire 

extending and enlargening.

Animals suffered for nothing,

collapsed homes,

trees burnt down.

Dark black ash, 

empty.

The remains of leaves faded over me.

A little spark can turn into a disaster,

a full happy family broken into half,

an animal's home turned into none.

I want to help, do you?
