The hungry flames dance
Upon the mighty fire
Reaching the silent skies
It leaps on higher

The rage grows more at a time
Burning everything in its way
Turning greens into ashes
Letting the charcoalled trees sway

Smoke and heat everywhere
Animals and forest creatures lost
Unfriendly fire like a devils stare
Many lives it has tragically cost

Perhaps rain would've shown mercy
But unfortunately it hadn't rained
For almost a year and half now
This part of the earth is much pained

Seen recent forest fires in the news
I am thankful as we are on tropical ground
For the suffering countries in despair
I hope more help gets around...
