Blue Mountain Bush Fires

Flames hop the tree tops
Winds blow harder than Dizzy's trumpet to be-bop
Yellow smoke chokes poor mountain folk
Ol' mate found nothing but a sneaker branded Reebok

Horrid winds fueled torrid flames
Love to all those; homes deceased on memory lane

At the corner of Linskview and Fairway
Homes burnt down like Ghanaians blaze djembe’s…
Now ghastly ghouls loot from the soot
Who, who are these fetid Fanook’s!?

Battling red De-Niro’s
Firefighting heroes
My man fled in a ‘74 Chevy Camaro
Stressing, messing, choofing his Malboro…
I Pray to Allah…
“Please don’t reduce his home to zero”

Mother Nature’s fiery few days…
Rapaciously ate all in a fiery flambé
Peace to all from Faulco to Winmalee
Lithgow, Mt.Vic, and little Hartley

Red lights the sky like a Hindu vigil
Hot flames burnt life like Muslims scorn Vishnu
The wind; the fires axiom mundi
We surrendered; didn’t you see me throw in the white kufi!?
