rivers break walls

rivers will break walls,
destroy banks,
when you build
a dam in their way

they grow a lake
larger and larger
deeper and deeper
eating churches and fields

don't wait for the rains,
be careful, enforce
the walls, when the
dam will break

the valley will be
flooded, mud and trees
and animals and cars
and bridges

in a rush carried
to the sea.
what was once alive
and green

will be dead
rubble, debris,
litter with bad smell
covering the bed

of the ports
and sinking
into oblivion
under ships cruising

the sunset,
very slowly
disappearing
behind the horizon
