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
