[ When The Clouds Start To Form Overhead ]
[ Most Hope For Sunshine Instead ]

[ But Not You, Not This Time Of The Year ]
[ Last Years Fire Season Made Things Very Clear ]

[ The Fire Season Does Not Only Affect ( OTHERS ) ]
[ It Affects Sisters Or Brothers ]
[ Grandfather’s & Grandmother’s ]

[ It Came So Close To Affecting You ]
[ & Didn’t You See ]
[ That There Wasn’t A Damn Thing That You Could Do ]

[ Nothing ]
[ Not Anything Or Something ]
[ Not One Thing! ]

[ Your House Was A Sitting Duck ]
[ It Sucked ]
[ Your House Was Stuck ]

[ You Were Feeling So Numb ]
[ Just Waiting & Waiting For The Fires To Come ]
[ You Were Never So Dumb ]
[ As To Think That You Could Help … Some ]

[ Then You Would Snap Out Of That Daze ]
[ & Then Look Outside @ The Smoky Haze ]

[ It Wasn’t Inching Closer, It Was Speeding Closer ]
[ Burning Up Cars & Houses ]
[ Jumping Over Tractors & Bulldozers ]

[ You Would Watch The News & Freak Out ]
[ But You Would Never Take The Time To Pout ]

[ It Was Just A Wait & See ]
[ Mother Nature Was Pissed Off ]
[ & Her Evil Twin Was Running Free ]

[ Free To Burn A Complete Town ]
[ Everything That Was In The Fires Path ]
[ Was Burnt Down ]

[ Nothing Could Stop The Different Fires From Combining
     To Make Monster Size Blazes Never Seen Before ]
[ When It Comes To Your Neighborhood ]
[ There Was No Reason To Close The Door ]

[ The Fire Would Just Burn It Up ]
[ Every Plate, Couch Or Cup ]

[ When The Fires Came To The Party To Crash ]
[ The Fires Turned Everything To Ash ]

[ So, Now, You Are Not In Another Hurry ]
[ To Worry ]

[ Like It Or Not The Worrying Begins ]
[ Because The Fire Season Has Been Thrust Upon Us … Again ]
