The Coming Dust Bowl
Thunderclap heard in distance
Yet no drops fall
Onto thirsty landscape
Status of the drought
Third year
Once shimmering lakes dry
No water in the spillway
Bird count down
No rest for the weary
Dust spewing in the wind
Jets fly overhead
In relentless blue
Reminiscent of the
1930’s dust bowl
Children play in the park
Without knowledge
Of the page
That will record the
Current dust bowl
No steps taken
To prevent the
Grass from turning brown
Impossible to curb
Our appetite for oil
Note: I am having trouble with proper spacing? Can anyone help me?
