Forest Fires

Nature can be as fragile as a thin piece of paper.
It crumbles down like a falling skyscraper.
You recognise a falling wooden pole,
with leaves dying on the top.
Flames left and right,
dead animals surviving with all their might.
Animals bones scattered on the earth,
and all the other animals in so much pain.
After a while a man called Kile comes,
with a colossal crimson truck,
that spits out water and puts out the flame.
