SHE WALKED WITH THE POTS

SHE WALKED WITH THE POTS

1 min
210



She walked and walked continuously, tirelessly

Heavy Pots filled with water on the top of her head

One overflowing pot on her waist clutched with arm

And one tiny baby unborn, squeezed inside her womb.

Restlessly, she walked and walked all the way everyday

 

The sun over her head blazed fiercely, mercilessly

So was the hot sand, crushing under her bare feet

The jingling bangles, tinkling anklet, and other ornaments

Adding more heat and soreness, too miserable to bear

But, non-stop, she walked and walked with her water

 

While walking, she was extremely careful not to spill

Every drop of water carried was most precious for her

Miles she walked every day, unceasing, to fetch this water

Just a repeated, unending, smouldering part of her life

But, she walked and walked without rest for the water

 

The impressive leaders will give a loud lecture on the stage

Every house, every day will get water sure it is our promise

As the tiny bubbles rise and die inside her pot without spilling

Her daughter, daughter’s daughter, will also quietly continue

Just to fetch water, they too will walk and walk all their life.
