Water-Water everywhere,
Not a drop
to drink,
Wasted in
wetting the paste,
Drowning in
the sink,
Water-Water
everywhere,
Not a drop
to irrigate,
Stagnating in
swimming pools,
Water goes
to waste,
Water-Water
everywhere,
Packed in
plastic; sold,
Withering crops
watch in pain,
Dumped in
cola cold,
Water-Water
everywhere,
Sewage falling
in,
Poisoning the
life that flows,
That water is
smelling,
Water-Water
everywhere,
No body
cares for it,
Religion at
the river bank,
Doesn’t give
a shit,
Water-Water
everywhere,
The north
keeps dying,
River linking
just a dream,
Southern throats
are drying,
Water-Water
everywhere,
No body
seems to care,
When water
screams in anger,
We cower in
fear,
Water-Water
everywhere,
Ignorance is
bliss,
When water
will be history,
This life,
the earth will miss.
Nice post. Include me in your mission also.
ReplyDeletePertinent. People simply fail to understand the importance of water, of safeguarding it, instead of merely calling rivers "holy".
ReplyDeleteNice and apt.
ReplyDeleteIt's a pity that water which should have been the most easily available, free resource on this earth has become so scarce that the picture is very dreadful.
It's a man-created crisis and it's high time we realise our responsibility !!
Nice one ... showing the importance of water ...
ReplyDeleteThe short poem was also good !
Great post! People take water for granted thinking that there will always be an unlimited supply. They don't get it.
ReplyDeleteOne of the finest and most thought-provoking poems on this blog. Water is a renewable resource and yet we have water scarcity,even in places where rainfall is abundant. A simple thing like harvesting of rain water can help us save tonnes and gallons of water, meet shortage, and channelise water where it is needed the most. Wonder why all don't do it?
