Losing Everything

The fire devastated the country

But it devastated my community way more.

Everything is in ruins

And nothing will rebuild itself overnight.

I lost my parents,

My home, pets, and livelihood.

Everything was ripped away from me in a split second.

Everything was gone…

Whenever I glance around my community,

I notice the same sad looks on their faces.

The fires have devastated everything

And the drought is only making matters worse.
