~ The fires still rage in the Canadian prairies of Alberta Saskatchewan and Manitoba. There, drought has hit particularly hard. Heat domes build and set the stage for fire. Dry conditions are like kindling for wildfires. President Biden has deployed 600 U.S. firefighters, support personnel and equipment to Canada to combat these out of control wildfires. Thick smoke from Canada continues to jet stream into America and spread over the U.S. ~
Acrid smoke fills the skies
Noxious, sharp, stinging eyes
Lungs burn, gasp for air
An eerie, bizarre orange glare
A deadly stare everywhere
Part the flames like the Red Sea
Save us all from this hot spree
Hollow eyes gather ash
Heart thumps fear in a flash
Nose loaded with scorching wood
Fiery throat, this ain't good
Cough and choke, crowded with smoke
The sin we dwell in cast an evil spell
Unburn the damning fires of hell
