Drought

Reports of a drought
so barren and hot
the villagers left behind
huddle
under a bare thorn bush
for a thin edge
of shade.

Women and children
forgotten
everyone
even the goats
are dying
too weak for anger
too tired to grieve.

Africa
won’t you cry
for them
they are desperate
to drink
your tears.
