Who will pray?


The ground is very dry.

The sun stripped out all the water from her shed.

What now remains is

dead soil.

Silent.

ungiving.

Empty.

 

We cry at the sky,

that it may crack a little,

and appease the draught.

 

Who will feed our crops?

What about seeds we planted yesterday?

Will the sowers be abased?

Will we eat from our land again?

 

But mostly,

Who will pray,

While the hypocrites mourn...
