There
is a town in California that is misnamed
In
Northern California Paradise where five people died in wildfire flames
Trapped
in their cars trying to flee from smoke inhalation dying
Victims
of a fire out of control no matter how hard fire fighters are trying
A
wild fire is deadly to all sadly in its path
Total
destruction from its wrath
Hesitate
to evacuate and all may be lost
Death
can easily be the cost
Malibu
in the south is under mandatory evacuation due to the Woolsey fire
For
residents in the path of raging flames the outlook is most dire
Once
again up and down the state the wildfires rule supreme
With
brush bone dry and brown instead of moisture laden green
Environmentalists
all attempts to cull dead trees have blocked
No
wonder we are fighting fires round the clock
