Thirst

by Virendra Jain

Man's insatiable thirst
Oceans are not enough
Sky is small
Universe may have an end
But not man's thirst!

Desire is limitless
Earth is ripped open
Winds are coloured
Climate is burnt
Rivers are assaulted
No end to man's thirst

But how long?
Sun will stop one day
Rivers will go below the earth
Oceans will freeze
No more clouds
Will the thirst end?
