inferno

into the night

the flames screamed

without thought or reason

given birth by idle hands

torching without discrimination

how long, she asks

until we perish into ash?

the inferno is coming for you

Vagaries of nature are 'without discrimination'. The fear of the fear is well founded and expressed.
