Godlike.

When I open the lid of my cistern I bring
Light down into an obscure world if a fish
Look up and see my face it will think I’m
God and pray, when the water level is low
They all pray a lot and don’t bicker as much
They do in time of plenty. I call the farmer
Who has got a borehole and brings a tank
Load of water…rainy season for my fishes.
Time has changed our village is modernized
Get water from the mains, thought of making
The cistern into a bomb shelter, but decided
To keep it as a backup in hot summers, being
God, is a responsible calling for anyone...
