Colorado Burns

Colorado burns to the west
Firefighters fighting their best
Sky's a haze
Sunsets blaze
We'll be here for days

Colorado burns to the west
Firefighters fighting their best
Your gold drenched skin is beautiful
But this warm glow's unnatural

Firefighting lady-prisoner in a podcast
Working for pennies to mitigate the blast
The sisterhood with its blistering heat
Some will meet defeat

Chainsaw saw it all
As she contained the fire wall
Here she took her untimely fall

Sisters bathe in reverie
Eating at camp carvery
Mere months before she would have gone free

West burns while Earth yearns
A honey hued blight
An eerie light

Have we lost our chance to reverse the course
Damage ravaged in the savage
Mother nature we must salvage

Tongue's a-twisted
Oooh you missed it
Western flames'
Indifferent aims
Fire today, snow tomorrow
May I have sweater to borrow

Skirting on the edge of one blaze
While caught against another sharp gaze
Every which way
The threat stays
The fire zone has come home

Smoldering embers oooh
Homes dismembered oooh
Charcoal singed
Yet it only begins
What, I ask, were our sins

Risk your house burning down
To find safer ground
Or stay in the action
Smoky and ashen

Quick! Water the parameters
Before things get shittier
Phones blurt
Warning alert

The risk is real
Are we ready to deal
And save our blue and teal
