The Outback

Spiky spinifex all around, But soon to be pulled out of the ground. Tall gentle gumtrees, so amazing to see, But soon to turn to ash. A relaxing river that is soon to dry up, You can hear it sizzle… SSSsSsSSss! Buzzing bees near the bottlebrushes, gathering nectar for Mother Nature. But the brushes will fall. Beautiful birds with so many colors, finding fruit to feed the others, but the flock will be shot down. BANG! The blue sky is like a balloon, But what happens when it pops... Our society will fall.
