The trees buckle and sway
Moving like the current
Dodging the bully wind
Desperate to stand tall
*
The dirt speck sent flying
Nothing to hold purchase
It follows a new path
In hopeful search of peace
*
The lizard on the wall
Its reactions are swift
Always searching danger
It will find its haven
*
The blood on the pavement
Predators plentiful
It could be the dry heat
Driving man to the brink
*
