Poesia - Mi Terra "Where did the Tears go?"

Where did the Tears go?

Tears stand for showers, stand for rain,
Where did it come from? Was it man?
Or did a deity filled with sorrow melt the land?
I heard in the olden days there were mountains tall as giants
Giant ice caps filled the sky and whittled their way down to us little cretins.
We were wasteful and now there are no more tears,
In the land of plenty, we have spent what we had,
Our deities no longer weep, and the land is but sand.
