Could You Survive That?

Could you live somewhere with no water?
A barren wasteland...
The only water is miles away...
You walk, desperate for some relief...
Could you survive that?

Things that grow are hard to come by...
And most of them aren't edible anyway...
Cracked ground...
No water...
The situation is desperate now. Can you survive?

It's not only humans that are affected...
You see the remains of animals as you walk along...
Died of de-hydration...
And the other animals pray on some of their own...
Could you survive that?

You find some water...
You let out a small sigh of relief...
It is short-lived because you have to carry back to your village...
And you are already exhausted from the long search for that goldmine you have just found...
Could you survive that?

Could you survive all this?
It seems impossible...
Hard for us to do...
Yet some people do it every year...
And we think we are the true survivors.
