Five Years

Dripping water

That sound

I miss dripping,

small

drips,

into

a

........puddle........

I look across the valley at the dim sun

setting behind the city buildings

now empty, like old men,

stooped and

.......plodding.......

Where am I and how

did we survive?

When not even bullets can

buy anything worth

......shit......

Then hunger

Industry for

rare earth then

India for

food then

Indeed,

everyone for

....water....

Even bullets can't steal water

Go piss in the ocean!

There's your fucking water!

I remember the heat

Then fires,

floods

...spread...

TV channels dropped

Radios went silent except

for the droning white noise

Like flies, who would listen

anyway?
