When things go dry

When something goes dry

When petropumps go dry
vehicles are stranded
machines grind to a halt
movement is curtailed
life is hit all around

When watertaps go dry
throats cry water
clothes pile up for wash
bathing chances lessen
streetbattles erupt

When feelings go dry
the heart hardens
humaneness goes
relationships snap
world becomes empty
