Water Tower

I am a water tower

Heavy is my head

And when the land around you is dying

I will keep your fields fed

I will keep your belly full

I will keep your family whole

I am indestructible

The things with tiny bones

Scurry round my legs

And they nag at me with their hopes

Little dreams for little heads

I wish I could clear them all

Sweep them up combustible

Burn them in a crucible

From their sacrifice a light

To keep you company tonight

Keep you company tonight

Snap them up like crocodile

Retreat to river with a smile

Just to know

They won't

Be bugging you anymore

That's a fair reward
