The old man stands, a silhouette in the burning city,
He watches as the smog-filled sky grows dark and gritty.
The flames that dance around him flicker and sway,
A reminder of the havoc that came here today.
He gazes at the ruins, a sight so grim and drear,
His heart heavy with sorrow, his eyes filled with tears.
But soon his courage strengthens, and he sets off anew,
To brave the raging inferno and find a way through.
