It’s the oldest 100 mile run.

O Colorado, you lend life to our lands
Your waters, precious, so few understand
The cuts will be deep, washing over states
But a Biden decree, it appears, awaits
No man can control you, your will builds its own fate#coloradoriver #watercrisis #westernstates #bidenadministration #ode #poetry
