The Fire Rages On

The Amazon is burning Human carelessness the cause Environmentalists blame policies From Brazilian government laws. It will have a tragic impact the Rainforest is Earth's lung Reducing global emissions, A habitat for animals and their young. Globally it's a catastrophe Each one of us must pray Satellites show devastation Of high temperatures and smoke all thick and grey. No more deforestation. Don't choke the nation. 4th September 2019 Contest choice: The Fire Rages On Sponsored by: Edward Ibeh

Did you know they are showing footage of the fire in 2013 in the Amazon which was far worse to scare the heck out of us today! Glad you care about the worldL Pamagiota Unfair reporting, I loathe it, Pamagiota

Why do we have to be lied to by the media? I didn't know that the footage was from 2013, what is the point of that? It makes me mad.

Such an appropriate write for the title your chose. This was beyond fantastic Elizabeth. It is a sad and heartbreaking situation and then to watch all of the fingers pointed in so many different directions makes me angry. They just need to get it together it stop this disaster. Best wishes in the contest
