dusty road

I walked down a dusty road today
just beggin for a sip of water
my eyes crusted shut
every time i look up it just gets hotter
found a begger with bigger issues than me
rang out a rock for a drip to quench his dry needs
pressed on ignoring my own dry heeves
opened a drop of blood with a diamond inside
it shined fine and reminded me to stay alive
discarded the set for the next passer by
coughed out the dust i once saw as my life
the sun set as the debris settled behind the sinner's knife
just beggin for a sip of water
my eyes crusted shut
every time i look up it just gets hotter
found a begger with bigger issues than me
rang out a rock for a drip to quench his dry needs
pressed on ignoring my own dry heeves
opened a drop of blood with a diamond inside
it shined fine and reminded me to stay alive
discarded the set for the next passer by
coughed out the dust i once saw as my life
the sun set as the debris settled behind the sinner's knife
