Wild Fire
July 26, 2021
Dark night passes across the damaged wall
Somber bell rings the silent hall
A mistake, the God of fire
Spreads his wings, sows the terror
The most splendent arena is lackluster
The rampant beasts sing joyfully
Fire comes quietly, leaves imperiously
In a catastrophe
The nightmare laughs, whistles its victorious paean
The precious gold, becomes useless slags
Pious disciples kneel down, pray
For mercy, hope for humanity

This poem is inspired by a wild fire in my friend's city. Many people were fatally injured and houses were burned down.
