Waterless

1 Reply

Waterless the world has become
with almost no rains for three months
around the equator and tropics
the rivers have dried up
the water sources are empty
the man, the animals and birds
appear thirsty all through
the plants and trees look paltry
withered and dry with no green leaves
a sight horrible to see
a season terrible to experience.

Predictions are the next wars will be fought over water…because of global warming.
