A Glass Of Water
Rating: ★4.5
Give me a glass of water
To drink in this summer.
Give me a glass of water,
I have nothing to drink,
The area is full of water, though.
Give me a bowl of rice
Or a bread to eat,
I want nothing more than this.
Give me a bowl of rice
To eat, on this day.
On this day, I am hungry.
I am being eaten by
My hunger, my thirst,
That are within me.
To drink in this summer.
Give me a glass of water,
I have nothing to drink,
The area is full of water, though.
Give me a bowl of rice
Or a bread to eat,
I want nothing more than this.
Give me a bowl of rice
To eat, on this day.
On this day, I am hungry.
I am being eaten by
My hunger, my thirst,
That are within me.

I am being eaten by
My hunger, my thirst,
That are within me.

Fine repetition of 'Give me' to open each stanza. How often I think,
'Give me a home-made lemon drink'.

True, We've all been 'eaten' by our inner thirst and hunger one time or another. Good write.
