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
