the droughts

The tree was a bridge
It was large
Magpies have to ask
Then they continue their task
A magpie made its fluffy nest
It was a real pest
If trying to cross
You won’t make it across
Shining sun is out
We need water to spout
Drought
Drought
Dead bodies everywhere
Over there
Days drag onward
We hope there’s a reward
It’s gone
Done
Where there were once lush trees
There are now polluted cities
