The crackling sound of fire in the hot, breezy air
Heat so intense that nobody can bare….
The thick pluming smoke resembles cumulus clouds
The flickering, burning flames in which it shrouds….
Taste the soot on your dry, cracked tongue
The fire’s nearing, the warning bells have rung….
The landscape is blackened and badly charred
Many lives lost and countless souls scarred….
Such horrid devastation in many country towns
Wildlife severely burnt and singed for miles around….
The hazy filled skies are widespread with smoke
These Black Saturday bushfires are far from a joke….
Many are left homeless with nothing to spare
Thank goodness the world pitches in and shows how much they care.
