THE QUENCHED NEED
Scorching hot, the sun beats down on me
Crawling & creeping, sweating profusely
Looking around hopeful, searching continuously
Vast, bare, dry, vacant lands are all I see
Not a tree in sight, not even a blade of grass
My tongue completely dry, my throat parched
The burning thirst eating away my insides
The sky and ground switch places as suddenly on my back I lie
Every cell crying out frm its heart
..........
.............
A JOLT! A JERK! A CHILL OF FEAR!
Its all a bad dream I see! Phew!
But its helped me embrace the need
To preserve this precious liquid
Which is the Elixir of human life
And mankind's highest ever bid!
