Thoughts on the California Wildfires

Verse 1:

On that scorching land

The flames run wild freely

Emergency resources can't keep up

Firefighters keep watch in exhaustion

The equipment has been taken far away

The monitoring and early warning are always a bit too slow

Verse 2:

The wildfires don't understand the pains of the people

There's a wall between the rich and the poor

It's hard for the low-income to escape

The road to recovery is full of hardships

The policies favor the wealthy merchants

The investment in fire protection is so scarce that it makes one nervous

Verse 3:

The city expands towards the wilderness

There's a struggle between environmental protection and development

There are ideas for forest protection

But it also makes the danger grow

With drought and water shortage the fires become even fiercer

The risk of wildfires keeps rising

Verse 4:

The path of government governance is so confused

There's a lack of planning and preparation

There's a lack of bridges among departments

It's extremely difficult to cooperate like being in a maze

Facing disasters they stagger along

Verse 5:

Where are the media and public opinion

The key issues are hidden

The truth behind politics

The people are longing for it to be revealed

Don't let the darkness bury our hope

Chorus:

The California wildfires how much pain have they brought

How should the social problems be cured

Where should the nation's path lead

Only by reflecting on the past can we find the light

The California wildfires how much pain have they brought

We are looking forward to a changed future

No more confusion no more sadness

Let's work together to rebuild a new paradise
