When The Monster Came

When The Monster Came

By Paul McCann

In February 2009 the temperature began to climb,

 in Victoria over 44 and a monster came knocking at the door .

Full of rage from Hades cage,

Run for you lives, but who will survive .

Stay or go , no one’s to know , what to do, it’s up to you .

Every thing was thrown at the flame

 In all their efforts they tried hard to contain  ,

but there was no warning of the coming wrath

all was consumed that lay in its  path .

When the  monster came , we all said a prayer ,

And remembered them in the bushfire that was there .

They surrendered all when the Monster came ,there in the flame  .

A changing wind the monster rushed in , away out of control ,

 it turned and spined , further up the hill to Marysville ,

the monster there was about to kill ,’

hundreds more in its flame

in the little townships and in the country lanes

water was sprayed from way up  overhead

down on the ground the fire turned around

Every thing was thrown at the flame

 in there efforts they tried hard to contain  ,

but there was no warning of the coming wrath

all was consumed that lay in its path .

When the  monster came , we all said a prayer ,

And remembered them in the bushfire that was there .

They surrendered all when the monster came ,there in the flame  .

 when the monster came .
