The Wilds

By raspberry89

A drought rules with free reign    
Even over the most fertile plain  
All is sacrificed to the terrain   
Any clarity you cannot obtain  
Resources you cannot sustain  
The desert wont be influenced to change  
Yearning will be shared with pain  
Days take from you what little remains  
Every grain of sand wants the sky to rain  
To saturate herself, the Earth won't refrain 
From draining the blood out of your veins
