Frivolous Fire
By Sophie M

Controlled back-burn,
Can sometimes take a wrong turn.
Fire - as hot as a lie caught in action,
Fire - you're always a humongous distraction.
Flames feeding on our land,
Water extinguishing a fire strand.
Fire, you eventually will cease,
Call the fire fighters, call the police!
As the forest becomes black and bare,
Embers have flown up in the air.
Our black bush is now sprouting,
Australia never should've been doubting.
Triple 0 has saved us again,
We're not wrapped in a regret filled chain.
Birds are singers in the sky,
The earth is anything but bare and dry.
