The Rain Of Fire Australia [ Feb 2009 ] Poem by Ken e Hall

Victoria when you cry for us
We did not die in vain,
For we have started a revolution
to ease the pain.
A revolution in communication,
To ease the pain
So this will never ever happen again.
This sunburnt land of tinder bush demands respect,
A drill we must apply past errors to reflect.

As the demons of death exhaled their breath
The devil unleashed his rain of fire.

Which way to go, now, later, east or west,
An explicit exit plan is surely best,
To stay with hose and hope is an also ran.
All public buildings display a fire exit plan,
Teach from early days,
Show to safety all the ways from home,
In every home and office ring alarms
Simultaneously on the phone,
A safety measure for us all.

Don't cry for us Australia
We did not die in vain,
Gods strength will help you with the pain,
And vow such loss never again.
