I AM

I am a humorous mammal who’s delirious about others.
I wonder if the arsonist will step forward?
I hear the screams of people running away.
I see orange flames taking over houses.
I want to donate as much money as possible.
I am a humorous mammal who’s delirious about others.
I pretend I’m helping others.
I feel so terrible when I see what’s happening.
I worry about the bushfires taking over.
I cry when I see the less fortunate.
I am a humorous mammal who’s delirious about others.
I understand why people leave…
I say that it’ll all be fine…
I dream of fires happening up here.
I try to do my best in helping out.
I hope that everyone’s going to be OK…
I am a humorous mammal who’s delirious about others.
