Victorian Bushfire's Poem by Anthony Goodall

In one second
Of stupidity
The beast was unleashed
Without a thought of humanity

And once it had a chance to breath
It stretched for as far as you could see
Destroying everything
Even people, just like you and me

Many Lives were lost
Amongst the heat of the flames
And who would ever know the real cost
Of someone’s sick little game

The earth was scorched
And dreams were shattered.
But after the heat and the flame’s
Life would return once again.

And who would have thought.
All it took
Was just
One
Second
Of stupidity.
