Sorrows of a Dry Land
Sorrows of a dry land
Where hunger and thirst
Have no end
The heat on winter
Doesn’t get better but hotter
People don’t drink
But rather miss water
Plants keep dying
But non keep growing
Rivers keep drying
With no rain to keep flowing
Birds and animals die
And get melted by the heat
Worms don’t feed
But swim in their meat
People grow thin
Having nothing to eat
The land get shaved
Into a wide bald field
Ruthless winds come
With no trees to shield
People lose some
If not all of their property
And the road is paved
For the merciless poverty
