Trees / Water / Life

So much nourishment, refuge, forbearance, forgiveness yet we care not

Mother being stripped, violated, strangled to death yet we care not

Sand tongues are growing longer and lapping up our life yet we care not

Motherless children wail for a droplet of mercy yet clouds care not
