Oil Fields

burning brightly ... i could see it from this far off.. the oil fields.. the burning oil fields.... the explosions of the tanks... almost felt like that was just 100mt from me... could feel the earth shake from the impact. don think anyone was hurt.. no one died.. or will die from this... not including the birds and bees... they will perish today and for days to come.. slowly falling from the sky choking while flying... afraid to step down.. all the fire eating everything in its path..
i am still standing here waiting for the next explosion.. there were 2 storage tanks..
i have been walking wondering why i have been burning these oil fields for so many weeks this time around .. its been hrs since the 2nd tank exploded... its been hrs since i have been walking in this ash filled desert.. eyes burning.. i don't have my lower eye lashes anymore.. the red rim eyes that scare me every time i look into the mirror..
the next site is about 20kms further will not make it there before night fall. no civilization haven't seen one in a few weeks. this job will be the death of me. why am i burning these oil fields ... why.. no one has seen in the need for these ever since i remember these fields were being exploded. its been 4 years since i joined the trade. a very poor profession. but then again.. there are no profession. this is the only work that would have taken me out of that sad place..
