Post Bush Fires

Many houses burnt down and a reported 210 human beings and many animals dead And for those where the fires were tough times are ahead By the great fires that brought death dreams have been destroyed And blackened desolation in the burnt countryside Some of the fires by humans deliberately lit which makes it more sad People who do such things far more dangerous than mad Leave them to live in prison till they die there one day At least they are safe there out of harm's way Life cannot be returned to the lives that were lost And their friends and relatives left to grieve them and to count the cost As well as personally financially but yesterday's gone They can either stay or re-build their homes or else move on From the State of Victoria the news seems all bad At the news of the huge fires that caused death and heartbreak one can only feel sad.
