I Promise

Barren land as far as I can see, so dry

Lost I am some where in a dessert I thought,

But no, I see faces so familiar, pale and empty I realized,

Eyes gone deep, skin gone dark like workers from a coal mine.

Dead fishes afloat the river flowing by, torn fishnets swept ashore

Vultures hover around, even over my head.

  

My skin's burning from the scorching sun, My throat so dry but not a drop to quench it

Blank faces follow me as I walk through this street so strange.

Those shades gone, where my friends gath Those rivers dried up where I go swimming

Those hills, trees, flowers all gone in flames

I opened my eyes to know its just a bad dream

I looked out to find the chirping bird still making its nest

Drizzling it was , all so green so beautiful I found.

I never let go these beauty anytime I promised myself

I never see this place go dry, no not even in dreams I promise
