one blue cup each
flows easily through her hands
dry river beds
laughter’s pure reflection
sing song they learn A B Cs
*
so young to be old
internal Acholi’s strength
Nile clouds my vision
*
If I share a handful of their giggles, would you share a handful of precious water?

Thanks for a nice poem, very sad the way we waste water when so many in the world have very little. At the moment it is pelting down you can’t even hear yourself speak for the echo of it on the roof.
Thanks for posting, appreciated very much.
