Sweet Chai

The water bill has come,
I have typhoid.
The well is dried up,
It looks like a void.
But do you want some chai?

The babies are crying,
The heat waves are stronger.
There is no water at home,
The bottles are pricier.
So, let's go have some chai!

I'm saving up on fuel.
No, the fan won't turn on.
I sold more blood for money
So we could buy some sugar.
Yeah, I'll make some chai.

I'm actually just twenty
But my skin looks fifty-five.
I've been living hand-to-mouth
For the last five years of my life.

But first, do you want some fucking chai?
