- in the middle of a drought year -
They build and build
Another five hundred
Unit building
More condos in the river bed
And then they cry and complain
Where will the water come from
For these units
-As the rain water rushes to the
Sea-
Who are they?
Do they invest
From someplace
Else?
My great grandfather
Farmed oranges in
Orange County
Now oranges come from
Elsewhere
Shipped to the millions of people
Who live
There
Now
What do we do
With the land
With the place
Where we live
Do we turn it into asphalt
And concrete?
Do we grow nutritious food
Nearby
And stroll in
Gardens and
In forests
I suppose we
Have a choice
