You cannot drink from my fountain.
The Fountain

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.
