Excellent Stupidity ends in destruction Shattered by Aussie

Racing cars loaded with drink Drink bottles thrown into bush Bush accepts shattered bottle Bottle waits for magnifying sun Sun lights the dry grasses Grasses curl smoke to fire Fire is fueled by lack of rain Rain, life-giving rain, waiting Waiting for mushroom clouds Clouds pregnant with rain Rain nowhere to be seen Seen brown grass instead of green Green grass dead and feeding flames Flames flush native animals to run Run for their lives, seeking shelter Shelter, none to be had; incinerated Incinerated, bloated sheep black as night Night approaches and fire trucks roar Roar to the flames, wipe out fires Fires too fierce, men in tears Tears of frustration, not able to cease Cease this devastation, tried at least Least of these volunteers scream Scream into the night - no more! More fires will take our lands Lands once fertile and green Green has moved on as floods Floods have taken all in path Path of devastation fire blazes Blazes and takes 50,000 hectares Hectares of grazing land dead Dead land desert worthless Recognized Author Notes Already the fires have started. The town of Miles saw 50,000 hectares taken by raging fires. Stupidity wreaks devastation. My Loop poem does not rhyme.
