‘WATER IS ASLEEP’, ‘THE CLOUDS ARE ABSENT’, & ‘PAYBACK’ (three poems by Mai William Bemsii Junior)

Read Time:1 Minute, 37 Second
WATER IS ASLEEP
Down the deserted street 
The sun is overhead
The tongue is dehydrated 
The throat can't swallow
The intestine under furnace
Hoping to find an oasis 
There's need for a quench.
Oh! There is a tap
Oops! It's dusty and rusted
It has degenerated in idleness
It sounds like a wilderness
A rain drop is what is needed
But it seems to be on a journey.
The feet can't bear anymore 
The solid ground is now hell
No distance can be covered
No help can be received 
It’s payback time for our actions
It’s time for retribution 
Water is asleep!
