Caveat

The brook is dry. The last time it let hear
Its waterfall was seven years ago.
When young, a thin stream of water was here,
Not very big, but nowadays no flow.

Without the vestige of a construction
Of a bathing place during the war,
Difficult to make such a deduction.
Thus drought cannot be ignored anymore.

Farming does not listen to our hunger 
But the strong voices of cupidity.
Soils, wind, and temperatures no longer
Set cultures but profitability.

Not a lot of things have to be explained,
But Mother Nature will never be tamed.
