Rain
I wish there was rain
Dusty dirt, so brown.
Only scorching, hot sun - I wish there was rain.
Ugly, disgraceful, red dirt.
No green grass.
Rain, so far away.
Grain deosn’t grow in the dry, brown paddocks.
Hot, so hot and thirsty.
The animals are suffering - I wish there was rain.

Images of drought
From dawn to dusk there never seems to be any sight of calming rain, not even a dark cloud to be seen.
While the sun is blazing down on the dry, brown ground and animals are suffering every second of the day.
Still no sign of relieving rain.
farmers losing money,
people losing jobs,
all because of the heartbreaking drought.
Fire fighters tired, hot and still fighting those deadly flames.
Animals fading away ever so slowly,
some possibly heading for extinction.
Grass is no longer to be seen, only dust.
