the cracks field


The cracks field
The hot sun spares none
It dries up the water
On the irrigation canals

The snake head fishes
Where have they all gone?
The city folks pay a high price
For its health benefits

Now the farmers wait
They don't protest on their woes
Whom they are going to blame?
They pray for the rain

But El Nino gives them
A time to remember
There is no rain today
The temperature rising

The brown colour on the field
It tells the weather playing its game
The rain will not pour today
We will sing our blues
