Why God?

The land 
Is the earth 
It is upon
Which our cattle feed
In the dust 
Under a blue sky 
The land 
Is the earth 
It is screaming out 
For water 
It is parched 
From the hot sun
O Lord 
These cows 
They are skin and bone
These once green trees 
Are skeletons 
The land 
Is the earth 
As our death 
Enters the house of mourning 
The land is the earth 
The earth is the ground 
The ground is the coffin
In which we test our spirit 
The land is the earth 
The earth is the ground 
The ground is the coffin
In which we ask, why God?
