RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: RIVER SERIES
Po Runs Dry
The waters that feed an ancient land
That fuel the farms and vineyards
From lush valleys to rolling hills
From heavenly gardens to fields of plenty
The river that has carved its way
Through granite mountains and forests
That has given a people life
In all its splendor
The River Po is running dry
And we know why
We all know why
Millennia of running waters
Millennia of winding through the earth
Millennia of streams and tributaries
Feeding a land of thirst
The River Po is running dry
And we know why
We all know why
How long before the whole of Italy
The land that gave us Dante
The land that nourished a great religion
A land rich in wine and fine cuisine
A land of superb architecture
A land of philosophy and culture
Alas becomes a barren wasteland
The River Po is running dry
And we know why
We all know why
