In your dreams

There are great rivers
That cut through the earth
And devour towns

When the rains come down
The beasts rage destroys
and conquers the land

Who'll cross the river
Who'll build the bridge
Who'll tame the water

People are divided
and they endure fear
One which can be touched

Some cross the river
Others avoid it
The rest are consumed

Too little of it and we would die, too much of it and we still die ... may there be balance!

Very significant piece, also well recited, dear Juju.

Love,
