When The Taps Run Dry

Waiting for that drop of liquid to be dripping, 
Hoping for a rowdy sound on my roof instead of sleeping, 
Empty shed, empty fields, empty stomachs nothing to save, 
Nothing to look forward to in the morning, Lord help us to be brave. 

Time is running, cows are dying businesses are ending tell me why? 
Hope is fading, people are panicking, poverty is rising and the crime is shooting high, 
Everything is changing, people are leaving and the cattle continue to die. 

Too much trouble for too less liquid we have youngsters to be equipping,
Attacked by the drought no water for anyone to be sipping, 
Prolonged hours of awareness, farmers in trouble started this creative writing, 
Somebody has to encourage people to behave. 

Rain must fall, people must save what the Lord first gave, 
Understanding the situation at hand might stop you to misbehave. 
Nile river filled up by every drop of rain, now dams are low, this is a new wave. 

Donate water to those who need it the most, go to the shops and buy, 
Renew, refresh, restore and reshape generosity, let's here their cry,   
You have a difference to make when the taps run dry.
