Only The Sticks Remain : Modern Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


 

 

In the sticks out there where  a vast untamed land cracks open under a waterless existence the heart of Australia cries out .

 Please help this desolate terrain .

 

It's a shame no  one hears .

Rain she cries but the blazing sky denies her tears .

Years pass like eons in the land that time forgot as those cracks open wide and she bleeds .

The heart of Australia is a burning flame .

 

Only the sticks remain .

Bones lies scattered in the dust .

Relics of the wilderness .

Unseen .

Untouched .

Unmoved .

Underneath an unsheltered undefeated scorching sun .

The land remains untamed without life .

Without shadow  .

 Without water .

Without  help  

Without people .

 Without an ear to hear her cry in this dry   barren    land .

And in the heart of this continent  where sticks but remain .
