The Black Hot Water Pot
It’s been years,
Technology and ways of living changed,
It was me,
Then the gas stove boiling hot water,
Then getting in a running tap or shower,
Via sensor detection to voice recognition giving hot water at your command.You thought you will move on without me,
Seeing all the fancy high-tech equipments,
You begged me for my warmth during the economic blockade when there was no gas,
You are a commoner and dont even have the VIP electricity line,
Your fancy equipment betrayed you,
We are stuck together yet again for the coming cold winter days in Manipur.
