Hope

by Harshita Das aged 11

Intent on destruction,
The fire, angry and relentless
Raging on with fury
Furious, and reckless

It continues with rage
For this is not even the start
It proceeds to destroy
Killing lives, without a heart

Where there once was a forest
Now lay ashes, dull and grey
For consuming at the speed of light
There was no one to keep it at bay

Then from the heart of the woods
A tiny sapling sprout
Proceeding to regrow
