Sun, a flaming ball in the sky Waterlogged lands have long gone dry The soil of the land turned crusty Oh God, on us, have some mercy! Scorched in the fury of the sun, Are hot humid days, with no fun In sultry heat, men go crazy Oh God, on us, have some mercy! Just as water saves lives on land Your grace is needed for our mind Don’t leave our souls dry and hazy Oh God, on us, have some mercy! Sun, a flaming ball in the sky Oh God, on us, have some mercy!

Climate change is merciless to us humans on planet earth. We have used and abused earth for greed and now has come the time to pay for our actions . Is the weather very hot where you live Valsa I'm so sorry. We on the other hand have had severe floods in Natal and we had rain up until a few day ago and sometimes cold weather when we should have had summer. We are in the third month of Summer and the weather is now very hot, lets see what Autumn brings Lovely poem my friend, H and B Jen

Exquisitely and artfully crafted, the melodic refrain in your composition, Valsa, is truly captivating. Your sincere supplication, elegantly expressed in the form of a Kyrielle, is undeniably enchanting. In a world bereft of compassion, where kindness appears to have evaporated like the arid desert, we desperately yearn for the rejuvenating waters of divine healing. Apologies for the digression. Best wishes for the contest

Terrible situation. The earth would become a desert. Loved the refrain.
