No Water for a Day

Water- Molecule of life. This is the one thing humanity can't survive without. The thing to quench thirsts, grow of life; it is the most essential thing for life to prevail.
In the progress of humankind, we tend to become reluctant to save these renewable resources- But that is extremely necessary. I have written a poem where I have imagined how a day without water would be...

No Water for a Day

Waking up at dawn was so hard for me

I yawned and slithered to go back to sleep

But then I looked at the screaming clock

9’o clock Friday the 13! It yelled

So, I pushed my covers and went to brush

With a blur eye I tried to twist the tap

Not a single droplet down it appeared

I slapped it and turned it again

But no luck, air just came out

Then I heard my mother yelp

“No water for a day, no water for a day!”

Still cranky from my morning siesta

I grabbed a bottle of packaged water

Thrust it on my brush and started cleaning

Until there was no more left

With toothpaste still on my teeth

I cried in silence

“No water for a day, no water for a day!”

I spit on a towelette and went to eat

Some steaming idlis on a plate

I gobbled them up like a fierce ogre

Until it was time to wash the dishes

In the sink lay a platter of cutlery

Stagnant and stinking from every which way

I covered my nose to block out the stench

Wondering my survival with

“No water for a day, no water for a day!”

Running errands was a pain

Cause everyone around me smelt like filth

The whole colony mourned without water

All doubting their minute of life

Everyone shouting in their brain

“No water for a day, no water for a day!”

By night fall all the moments were remembered

When I had carelessly lost the water

Seeing, without the molecule of life how we were troubled

 I swore to thee to never experience

“A day without water, A day without water!”
