The Australian Bush

A dry and peaceful place,
Just waiting to brace,
Snakes are sliding around,
Wishing to be found,
Hoping to go abroad,
Standing in the wind,
The sandstorm getting nearer,
Just wondering why people are not getting any closer,
The sun's not going away,
Just wishing for the stop of day,
Why am I here right now,
Water is nowhere to be found.
