Buying water has become the way of life.
Imagine the plight of our life
Those of you who know not what it is
would undergo a shock after hearing this.
The water table having depleted below
going three hundred meters into the ground deep below.
Water has become a commodity like gold and diamond
going deep into the earth needing an excavation like diamond.
As it has become rare nowadays in this part of the world
the price tag it has on its head is beyond the capacity of the world.
Procuring water for daily usage has become a necessity
The administration has to take care of the necessity
It sits pretty comfortable in the capital
not bothering to sort it out but eating the capital.
Day in and day out the struggle goes on without any drop-outs.
People have to queue up to get a pot of water in the drop-outs.
The fertile fields and orchards suffer severally
as the crops and trees go dry and die severally.
Man’s indignity and conceit has paid me off liberally
making him stand without water most of the time also liberally.
