Water Poem by Akhtar Jawad
Water
You may agree or may not,
It's my thinking,
I may be right,
I may be wrong,
The need of time,
Is to be elastic,
And a little realistic!
I see a dispute of water,
We both need it.
We both need our resources,
To be exploited,
For welfare of the children,
And to launch a war,
Jointly against,
Mosquitoes, insects and reptiles!
Let the water be distributed,
Honestly in two neighbors,
Close enough we may come,
With many common joys,
Everything is possible,
But to extinguish the fire,
It's water that is needed,
Scarcity of water will make difficult,
To extinguish the fire,
That may turn,
Women and children,
Into coal and ashes!
You have a powerful sucking pump,
Your family is large,
My family is small,
Just close your pump,
Four hours a day,
I'm sure we can live,
Like friends and good neighbors.
Often neighbours can have similar issues propping up among them.....especially on basic necessities like water! With a little adjustment and tolerance, such disputes and the resultant ill will can be amicably settled! A beautiful poem on the problems faced in practical life! |
Beautiful write, with understanding and compromise we can live together in a fair and peaceful society!
Honestly like friends and good neighbours. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Very fine lines. Written as if words have just come out of your heart.
the selfish strife of human wants well depicted with the metaphor of water...................quiet punching of truth
A beautiful exposition of an issue. If you like to live a peaceful life in the society, there should be peaceful coexistence. Both have to leave a little and at the same time have to share also for benefit of both. Thanks for sharing.

I like the storyline, but I have a feeling English is not your first language so you may read even better in another.
