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
