Bitter Sweet Springs

Back in the day when
the water
ran clear, deep and so
freely ..
From the top of the hill
and on
down by the old stone
quarry,
the blocked footpath
and once
oh’ so green pastures ..
Long before
all of these darn dams,
them
darned ditches and the
damned
new builds came along
and spoilt
all our pretty views,
and then,
proceed to poison our
precious
fresh water supplies too ..
