The Sin of Man

Floods and droughts
What is it all about?

Vigilance is in dire need
It’s time to watch the times
And take heed

“We haven’t been that bad”
Some may say

We’ve passed unforgiving laws
And looked the other way

Now we’re using ground water
And digging wells

Our so-called good intentions
Have failed

Treated sewer water is being processed
Mother Nature will have us drink our mess
