RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: RIVERS SERIES
Mississippi Vanishing (River Series)
The great river of a mighty continent
The pounding heartbeat of America
Runs dry before our very eyes
Mississippi vanishing
Did we know it would happen like this?
Did we know it would happen so fast?
She was once the mother of rivers
So powerful strong and vast
Will we mourn her when she leaves us?
Will it tear our hearts apart?
It was here that Clemens flourished
The Mississippi blessed his start
The great river is now dying
Like the land it fuels and feeds
The warming of a planet
Neglect of its vital needs
