The dust bowl

Why did the dust in Hooker
Farmer in Prowers County say
God was pushing away into the cooker
Holy water baby children pray


Why did the bones burn
In yellow stars did form
In gas and chamber urn
Upon the fences torn


Why thee mind forgets
My face a foreigner
For dementia wets
No more the self owner


Even tides these tears mourn
For she lays wilted white
Wonders why a god's scorn
Never left these stars dark light
