Gone
By India B

Smoke fell over the Gum Trees
Burning, Killing, Destroying
The blaze; a deep orange colour
Letting nothing escape
Everything Gone
Homes, Memories, Families
All Gone
The animals cry in the ashes of their family members
The plants are dark, dusty and dead
Our natural world, Gone
The disaster cannot be reversed
Leaving animals in the dust
Leaving our noses flooded like water lands filled with smoke
Leaving the sound of sirens - loud as lions' roars in our ears
Leaving our eyes crying like falling waterfalls at the sight of this disaster
Help! Scream the Flora and Fauna
Having nowhere to go
Humans need to come to their aid
Without our help the natural world will be
Gone
