California Fires
Jan 10, 2025
Santa Ana winds blow down through the hills
Flames erupt and their massive fury builds
A lifetime of memories up in ephemeral smoke
Air so hot and thick
it makes you choke
Desperate for water
But the hydrants are dry
The whole world watches
And ponders why
Those with power did nothing to prepare
Leaving mass devastation spreading everywhere
Such an avoidable tragedy created a dark void
Families and lives completely destroyed
