I Know The Monsoons Soon Have To Come Poem by Mark Heathcote

I know the monsoons soon have to come
But what then will pervade; answer me that.
It was thought that the mosquitos
Were, caught-up in the ghost trees of Pakistan.
These spider webs reduced the risks of malaria
Saved many, desperate woman and man.

I know the monsoons soon have to come
But what then will pervade, answer me that.
These people themselves pray for their livelihoods
Pray that the infrastructure holds isn't destroyed.
A silent victim left totally alone
A silent spectator to a watery thrown.

I know the monsoons soon have to come
But what then will pervade; answer me that.
Answer me that. Answer me Lord who will be saved
Will you send in the sunshine to save them
From an all-encompassing watery grave
Answer me Lord, who or what will be saved

I know the monsoons soon have to come
But what then will pervade; answer me that.
When the people only want to see their cattle fat
Their children stout and tall as wheat
Happy they have shoes to sole their feet
Whatever pervades Lord give them the strength to meet.
