Hottest consecutive seven days since 1939

The rain came

To quench the thirst, again,

Of the land;

And us, ‘land down under’ people —

 

We have just experienced

the hottest seven days,

in a row,

Since 90 years ago.

 

‘Stralia is parched —

Thirsty in need, deep,

rain hath not vanquished,

Yet to be extinguished.

 

We thirst for water

And we will forever saunter

Down by the lake,

Where dreams become deep fakes,

 

We need living water;

For when the days get hotter and hotter,

We will remain still,

Trusting and able to pick up the quill

 

Again —
