Dilshan Singh Sandhu Poet Rhyme

Waterless

The land was desolate and parched
Only sinuos marks of rivers which ran
No water found by men who searched
Rivers were squandered away by man

Sky ran obscured  asunder and ablaze 
Sly man would  plunder and raze

Taps were left running all day
Too late to be leery  of the loss at hand
A loss which man thought was at bay 
Sadly Gone were the days of a beautiful land

Gone were the daisys swaying in lukewarm zephyrs
Gone were the meadows of glistening green grass
Gone were the branching boughs of titanic trees
Gone were the beauties of nature 

Gone due to man
Gone due to his pride
Gone due to his ignorance
Gone due to his thirst

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
