ARIZONA IN FLAMES

The Sun Rose this morning in the South of Arizona
Casting its rays on the burned acres of Gods forgotten lands.

Smoke and Flame still swirl Skyward, raising to the heavens
Hot Shots on the ground, setting fires to fight fires.

Huge grasshoppers come from the sky to drop natures quenching water;
Weary fire fighter, as brief respite do get,

The land of my Fathers is aflame, these the lands of my birth
our sacred home defiled, our lives in turmoil, our hopes on hold

Have we been forgotten; have we been abandoned?
Why are the Gods Angry? What have we done?
