Precious Water
When will we see what is in front of us?
That which has chased us for millenniums
Stretching it’s growing wings as we multiply with such speed
Covering the surface of the once green, natural earth
With heavy feet and vacant, unknowing hearts
Crystal clear, it runs through the rocks and streams
Cold and refreshing in appearance and taste
70% of the human body fulfilled
With hidden demons existing in the smallest, minute world
Breeding in splendor unknown to naked eyes
Bathing in the invisible parts of our life-giving source
The very blood of our first, real Mother
A child's eyes see it abundant as the vast blue oceans
Free as the air we breathe, that now chokes us in the slowest motion
With similar unseen ease and ever creeping stealth
Waiting to remind us of our failings, our greediest endeavors
The poisoness snake that comes back to bite it’s own tail
This, the karmic rhythm which can only play out it’s cracked tune
From chords struck long ago in some chaotic disharmony
Global warming moving at the unthinkable fast pace
Leaving no area or even a small, forgotten corner to back into
All this, and our precious water, forever changed
