A Sudden Flicker

I hear buzzing from the bees
Flying high above these trees
I hear tweeting and wings flapping
I turn the corner and see a bear napping
When all of a sudden fire spreads
Burning the bushes and garden beds
Trees falling before my eyes
Animals scatter away from the demise
I shout out to stop the mess
But some people couldn't care less
Flowers and grass bloom no more
But the government just shuts the door
All that's left is now burnt trees
But a world to be used is all everyone sees
