Scorched Earth
Our world is burning
In the wake of the firestorm’s furious roar,
Where nature’s wrath upon the earth did pour,
A scorched earth requiem, a somber theme,
In the aftermath of flames, a haunting dream.
The inferno, a relentless force untamed,
A fiery tempest, a world forever changed,
Its voracious hunger, a sight to behold,
As it consumed the land, both young and old.
The forests once so vibrant, full of life,
Now stand as silent witnesses to the strife,
Their mighty trunks reduced to ashen bone,
A testament to nature’s strength alone.
Yet even in this desolation, life persists,
Resilient and determined, it insists,
The charred earth, a canvas for rebirth,
As green shoots emerge from scorched earth.
The creatures that once danced through leafy halls,
Now wander through the ruins of crumbling walls,
Yet in their eyes, a glimmer of resolve,
To adapt, to survive, to once again evolve.
The rivers, once a lifeline pure and clear,
Now bear the marks of fire’s relentless smear,
But beneath the surface, life’s pulse prevails,
A promise that nature’s spirit never fails.
The sky, once painted with cerulean grace,
Now veiled in smoky shrouds, a haunting space,
But even in the midst of choking haze,
The sun still rises with its warming blaze.
The human heart, too, carries fire’s scar,
As we watch nature’s battle from afar,
In the ashes, we find our common thread,
A shared determination to heal instead.
The firestorm’s legacy, a bitter truth,
A stark reminder of nature’s fleeting youth,
Yet in the face of devastation’s trial,
We find the strength to reconcile.
To rebuild, to restore, with hands and heart,
To mend the wounds, to make a fresh start,
In the scorched earth requiem, we find our song,
A testament to nature’s resilience strong.
As seasons change and years unfold,
The scars may fade, but stories still be told,
Of the firestorm’s legacy, a lasting plea,
To cherish and protect our world, our plea.
In this tale of nature’s struggle and might,
We learn to tread more gently, to do what’s right,
For in the ashes of the fire’s ruthless blaze,
Lies the hope for brighter, greener days.
Now, let us delve deeper into this world ablaze,
Where tales of courage and redemption raise,
The spirits of those who vow to stand tall,
In the face of adversity, they’ll never fall.

Braving the inferno, their stories never old,
Their courage a beacon in the darkest night,

Neighbors helping neighbors, hand in hand,

From destruction springs forth a vibrant bloom,
A testament to life’s unyielding resume.

A commitment to protect our precious earth,
To cherish its beauty, to assess its worth.

That in the face of adversity and despair,

But the embers of hope will forever fly,
In the scorched earth requiem’s enduring song,
We find the strength to right what’s wrong.
