Death of a country town

This dry land 
Parched 
In the damn blustering heat 
The sun 
Bellows 
I am the Lord thy God
   Thirst 
     In prayers 
        Sunday church 
  The farmer 
      The grocer 
The truck driver 
    The doctor 
       The child 
 The dog 
    The corn 
        How long Lord
 Before the grass is green again - 
    The Lord 
  The sun 
      The dry 
 The death 
    Of a country town
