Drought

Dusty paddocks and dry brown grass
Slowly replacing
Fertile fields and lush greenery

Farmers once content
With a full day’s work
Of fencing, mustering and the ridding of weeds

Now fill their days with feeding and watering,
Whilst watching their stock and crops
As they slowly die

Yet another written in the session of trying to recover from writers block. This one was written just after a phone call from family on the farm. It's really quite depressing what's happening to the people on the land...

You're right, dear. It is depressing. But so accurate!
