It takes seconds For the fire to spread And it took down Small towns first Ripping apart families Names scattering, fleeing And we all watch The media speculated All the loss history Displaced heartbeats And rationalize it Then it hit cities Seas of red and orange Licking and devouring Neighborhoods And politicians wanted to blame Everyone but themselves When it expanded passed borders We all went silent Countries transformed into tattered pages People swirling around, around Astronauts said groups looked like storms Tornados bouncing from land to land As red slowly spread Flickering orange Spreading like a pair of wings Encompassing the earth
