The Fountain

by Bruce Alan Humphrey — Read all 55 poems by Bruce Alan Humphrey

You cannot drink from my fountain.

Monday, April 3, 2023

You cannot drink from my fountain.

It is mine, not for you. There will be no water for you.

You cannot drink from my fountain. You are different.

 

The water is only sweet to me.

You cannot drink from my fountain.

Your skin is different, your face is different than mine. It will taste bitter to you.

 

You cannot drink from my fountain.

You are not as intelligent as I, you are not my equal.

I have turned it off.

 

You cannot have water from my fountain.

I do not care if you thirst.

I do not care if you die.

 

My fountain has run dry.

It does not work.

May I have some water?

 

Yes, you may have some water from my well.

Take as much as you want.

I care.

A wise and moral poem. The water is for all to drink.

Your poem tells the story that has often happened. It seems that the most depressed are the most open and generous. Compassion is all that is really needed. Some may read it wrong but I believe I read your poem correctly.
