Imagine The Wasteland
A firestorm swept the land
The firemen were all called out
The police were called too
Local dignitaries took their camera opps
In one poor section of town
Behind some old walls and fences
The fire was unabated
Nobody saw it had lept over there
It festered and smoldered in someone's basement
The fire destroyed whole neighborhoods
Houses gutted and torn
It left ghosts of houses
It left the ghost that is my own
Fires take almost everything down
Stone walls do not burn
Imagine the wasteland left by disaster
Imagine the wasteland that is mine
