A Thousand Screams

This was written when there were several fires in the mountains of California. I wrote this long ago as my reflection point. I hope you enjoy.

You watch it burn you feel so bad

You see the people and you all feel sad

To watch the flames take its fire course

Everyone fighting with care and remorse

To us it’s different not so calmly serene

So much people could never even dream

One loss of life is all you would see

A dozen people hurt others to flee

One look I can offer a small lil peek

Not just the humans its animals I speak

Not one cry, scream you will fear

Because 1000's is all I get to hear

A human life lost it makes no ones day

What of the animals that died in the hay

Imagine the cries, the fear stricken heart

As fire sets in to burn them apart

What if today you could hear them cry

All of God’s animals in the fire they die

Screaming in pain and wanting to hide

No where to go they burned and died

Welcome to me and my land full of thought

Don’t ask me why I am so distraught

A 1000 screams I’m hearing each day

But I don’t know death so some would say…
