We Need More Rain Poem by Francis Duggan

For the past few days it has been raining yet we need far more rain
And the creeks they are not flowing and little water in any drain
It has been said that for the present el nino is back at sea
But two days of rain is scarce sufficent to heal the affects of the longest drought in history,
We need more rain to start the creeks and the drains flowing and fill each dam and lake
A month or more of heavy rainfall quite a difference would make
To the farmers and town reservoirs that are at an all time low
And to the rivers and the parched paddocks where the grass again will grow
Climate change is all around us and it seems to be Worldwide
But that we have helped it in no small way by us can hardly be denied
We pollute the lands and oceans, the waterways and the air
And for our Earth Mother who feeds us we do not seem to care
But what we do to our Earth Mother to our own selves we do
And every dropp of rain is welcome though of it we need a month or two.
