I BROKE THE POT
The pot
Tat killed my great grand’s thirst
That reared all who lived before me
That produced our water
Water sweeter than honey.
The pot
She valued more than gold
It was her favourite
Because it was passed to her
From her grandma.
The pot
Is a generational pot
Passed from one generation to another
But now it’s no more
What am I going to leave for my granddaughter?
The pot
That I broke with my carelessness
I know the one who passed it to me is now annoyed
But anyway, I will tell her
It was too old and it had worked for long.
The pot
What if I glue it?
Won’t it link or become a puzzle of a pot?
What will my jajja say about the pot?
I’m confused.
