Of Drought

The lakes and dams low in water and the countryside brown, bare and dry And not a rain cloud in the blue and grey sky The creeks flowing at a trickle and bone dry every drain The bare thirsty earth it is crying out for rain The farmers feeding their cattle and their sheep on hay Just to keep them from dying of hunger in truth one can say On hay for their cattle and sheep not any weight gain The farmers have a good reason on which to complain Worldwide the weather has been acting so strange Perhaps the reasons for this Global warming and ClimateChange Which has many forms such as droughts, storms, floods and fire Our abuse of our Earth Mother leaves a lot to desire The paddocks brown and bare and bone dry every drain And the dry thirsty earth it is crying out for rain
