California Is Drying

California is Drying California is drying up they say this drought only needs another year before California is a sun dried tomato California is cracked clay of a dry river bed California is like the white salty residue my sweat leaves when i am dehydrated riding my bike through the soul sucking heat California has 1 year of water left and people still stand in the heat and wastewater on their greedy green grass lawns you cannot eat grass California known for farming citrus fruits and endless fields of grapes for wine avocados and almonds hydroponic pot plants and hops for craft beer If you drive through Central Californian farms All the trees are dead all the people are gone all the dust is kicked up all of the lush farmland is now a desert and our government sucks us dry and we suck once fertile California dry the once proud Golden State falls apart in my hands like a petrified fossil.
