There's a fire up ahead!

in poetry •  8 years ago 


Red and blazing a fire ahead,
While others are running backwards,
They are running straight ahead.

Crackling and burning,
Crashing and falling,
Tossing and turning
and engines are stalling.

Red and blazing a fire ahead,
While others are running backwards,
Fire fighters are running straight ahead.

Screaming and shouting,
Fighting and yelping,
Horror and doubting,
Heroics and helping.

Red and blazing fire ahead,
While others are running backwards,
They are running straight ahead.

Hurt and fear,
Hundreds of tears,
Families are stopping,
Gasping and shocking.

Red and blazing fire ahead,
While others are running backwards,
Fire fighters are running straight ahead.

Spraying and heating,
Coughing and wheezing,
Playing and beating,
Happy to be pleasing.

There is no fire ahead,
While others are running forward,
the fire fighters win again.
