Persgedicht - Lonely Satellites

Lonely Satellites

I’ll tell you how my research went,

What we know from biology,

The functioning of ev’ry tree,

Depends on its water content

 

So what if there’s a little less

Of this epic liquid of life

Will plants just stop to thrive

Or will we end up in a mess

 

Plant death is a catastrophe

For that we need to explore new ways

To ensure food security

 

Simply said, to save the human race

We need more lonely satellites

For drought detection from out’r space
