Saving our world, Saving our water



People wonder why water conservation
Is such a big conversation
You’ve probably heard that water is life
The scarcity of which causes strife

Everybody requires water
From the builder to the slaughter
Yet it’s a commodity so rare
Leaving communities so bare

While we are busy biting our own quota
We don’t think of the whiting an iota
Yet that’s a debt
To nature we owe

Into the forests we have encroached
Words of caution we have reproached
Our conservation agenda laced with politic
Mixed heavily with tribal and racial rhetoric




Global warming is no myth
It’s no teaser the contribution of many a smith
We may bury our heads that water is renewable
But that doesn’t mean it will be here for ever

It’s me and you to do something
No, Not rocket science, just the simple things
Sealing leaks in our toilets, turning off the water while you lather
Then, only then, will we be truly deserving of our gracious world
