Water dripping down the tap

teen standing in front of wash basin

busy shaving his thin beard

and looking in the mirror...

 

His singing is going on

and water is still dripping down

oh! a cut has occured on the soft cheeks

hurriedly he shouts

and calls his mom

she comes with a spirit swab

and puts a gentle pressure on the cut

bleeding stops in a while

she goes out of the bath room

and the boy is again busy

watching the bleeding cut

 

but

the water is still dripping down

now he puts his palm

down the tap to fill it with water

and wash his face

washes his face

and stops the tap of wash basin

 

Moves towards the bathing tap

puts a bucket under it

water is again dripping down

boy is busy oiling his hair

then applying face pack..........

bucket is full

and

water is still dripping down

 

for whole twenty minutes

water is dripping down

and the careless boy has no regret

he comes, takes his bath

and gets out lost in the dreams

and

the water is still dripping down

now mom hears the sound and puts off the tap........

 

On the outskirts of this colony

a crowd of women with buckets and urns

around the public water tap

is waiting for the water

to come

they have no drinking water

at their homes...........

 

 

Perhaps in some other bath room of the colony

Water is still dripping down.................
