Tree by tree the flame takes over
The shrub tries to reason, but scorched away.
Smallest little ember now spreading at a rate of thousand trees a day.
Despair and misery,
All a common scene every summers day.
Blame and anger fills the town
Is it Arson or it just the horror of nature
Is it back burning gone wrong or the “Greens” non action
As a nation we all pull together
We look for answers but never forget the suffering
Even the Koala gets a drink
As a nation we mourn together
It’s water not oil to calm the burning fire
My fellow Australians
Leave racism to the Yanks and the Brits
Remember it’s water not oil to calm the Burning Fire
Daily Post word – Burn
