Analysis of world on fire
The world is on fire.
The flames are licking at our heels.
We're running as fast as we can,
But we can't outrun the inferno.
The heat is searing,
The smoke is blinding,
But we keep moving,
Because to stop is to die.
There's no escaping this inferno,
No matter how hard we try.
We can only hope for a miracle,
That the world will be put out before we're consumed by the flames.
