- DrOuGhT-

Dry

dust-dry

sun-baked soil

cracked and barren and bare

The sun beats on and on and on......

relentlessly from a cloudless sky.

Wilting grass withers and dies

and cattle stagger on dehydrated legs

too parched-too weak

too tired to stumbe on.

And day after day

after endless day,

the seveltering, murderous sun

beats down!
