Water

Water

by Ahmad Cox

Water give us life

It flows in our bodies

It flows through our veins

It flows through everything

It's miraculous

When you really start to think about it

It's able to support life

Life wouldn't have been able to propagate

Or to flourish

Or to thrive on our planet

If we didn't have this miraculous compound

It gives life to the creatures of the sea

So that they may swim

And exist 

Caressed in it's life giving embrace

Everything on Earth depends on water

Everything needs water to survive

It lives in the trees, 

It lives in the sky

It lives in the oceans

It lives in the land

Through rivers

Through streams

Through rain 

The water flows

Filling the Earth with it's life giving power

And yet we still don't truly understand 

Just how miraculous water really is

If we truly understood

We would protect our water

And revere the life that the water sustains

But instead we dump our trash in the oceans

We dump our pollutants on the land and in the rivers

And we make the water

And the oceans

And the seas so toxic

That barely anything else can survive in it

We need to begin to respect the miracle that is water

And the life that it sustains

If we are to survive

Because if we diregard the water around us

We are also disregarding ourselves

Oh so true, cannot live without water, but we act like it will be there for us forever, no matter what we do to it!
