When the cows were dying
When humans could not make a move
When animals could not survive
It was the drought.
The rains had stopped
The boreholes were empty
The river was running dry
People could not even blink their eyes.
There is no flesh on them anymore
Bones sticking out of their bodies
The earth burns with heat
Nothing is green as before
For everything is drying up.
Humans shook their heads
Calculating their days to the grave
Whispering curses
To those who caused it
Yes it was the drought.
