Not Even A Single Drop Poem by Mlungisi Ngomane

Your absenteeism brings sorrows, pains and hunger,
even the earth itself mourns your anger,
your absenteeism brings agony, misery and danger,
even those who plough mourns your absentia.

Maybe we might have caused your anger,
even rivers, dams and lakes runs dry because you cease to fall,
people wonder what might have caused your anger,
maybe you want earth to run dry because of hunger.
Because of your absentia even plants cease to grow,
because of your absentia, plants cannot even drink,
not even a single drop to drink,
we all mourn your absentia.

Your absences brings drought, famine and hunger,
even streams cease to flow
and animals die of hunger,
some even perform rites to appease you,
Yes they do! .
