WORDS VS WILDFIRE

It all started with a small well-lit match,

Dropped onto to a grass patch,

The fire slowly spread from one blade of grass to another,

All in all, creating a big old forest wildfire.


It started off with a rumor,

Spread out because of an eve’s dropper,

The rumor spread from mouth to mouth,

Person to people, going all out.


Chaos, flames, fumes, and ashes,

Burning down trees and swampy marshes,

Polluting the air with smoke and dust,

With series of fire sparks and grey wind gusts.


Anger, frustration, and infuriation,

All because of falsifying information,

Friends, fiends, family and relations,

Bringing in a million questions.


The wildfire eventually died,

Wiping off every aspect of wildlife in sight,

The animals all went away after fighting with might.

Never returned to the forest from that very night.


She stood there in the middle of the burnt down forest,

Trying to figure out where it all went wrong,

Was it the words or the wildfire;

That brought her here, Or was it a rumor all in all?
