Streams Of Water In The Streets

 Streams Of Water In The Streets 

Like a reading lantern 

On your table 

Serving you

That you may be able 

To tell difference between 

A poem and a fable 

Like ink

In your pen

Following the tube

One to ten

It's of no use

To a hen!

It should be 

Like a hungry raven 

With its catch

Feeling in heaven 

Enjoying the best haven 

Drink water 

From your own cistern 

Let them be 

For yourself alone 

Not for foreigners 

From North or Eastern 

Being filled by the

Flowing water from your well

Let it not be

Streams Of Water In The Streets 

Serving the homeless 

Thieves and the banished 

That to which 

Every soul branches

For life!

(Adopted from Prov.5:16)
