Rains are digging trenches
On needy benches
Stirring the innocent ground
To interrupt the vision of itchy mouths
II
Suns are heating water
Waking vapours to the loiter
Generating sweat on tan crazed fans
Who parade on crowded shores
III
Thunders have lost their lanes
Cracking stomachs in their mains
Forcing belching to lose its way
Through a channel which many decay
IV
Airs turn winds and turn tsunamis
Dust turn soil and turn mud
Rains turn water and turn flood
Faith turn fate and turn state
Life goes on nevertheless
