Analysis of Consuming Flames
A whirlwind of fire cooling down
To a single point.
I see the fire in my eyes
As the animal dies.
The ghost of a trapped deer
Crying for help.
The forest fire is raging
As I'm trying to help engaging.
Flying machines drop water
On the steaming flames,
And I'm spraying a hose
As the flames rose.
The fire is crackling
And falling is the branches and trees.
Then one thought consumed me,
This is nothing compared to hell.
