Aftermath
 

Aftermath

No mistaking,
It’s so heartbreaking,
All this devastation,
Nothing remains,
But horrible stains,
Spread across the nation.

Landscapes laid bare,
No buildings left there,
Animals were lost too,
Everyone’s shocked,
Our world has been rocked,
There was nothing we could do.

Hard to believe,
People left to grieve,
Lives just taken away,
It hurts to see,
All the agony,
Then who is left to pay?

Wrote this poem this week about the fires...:(

After The Fires

Everything so black,
The ground and the trees,
Thick smoke and ash,
Carried on the strong breeze.

The twisted metal,
Burnt and blackened wood,
Just charred remains,
Rubble where homes once stood.

Paddocks so bare,
Many animals dead,
Human lives lost,
Nothing left to be said.

The fire destroyed,
Everything in its path,
There’s nothing left,
But the sad aftermath…
