This is a poem my friend Shayna wrote:
A flowing miracle that must be preserved
But there's an industrial population to be served
Chemicals, pesticides in our water, reside
Pharmaceuticals have been found in wildlife
Landfills, air pollution, animal factory waste
Now how does your tap water taste?
Atrizine is illegal in Europe but number one in United States
Ironically they sell it to us by the mass in crates
People in other countries are running out much quicker
Water in Bolivia and India is making them sicker
Billions of gallons a day are pumped and bottled
Voices of American people continue to be throttled
Humans are on the brink of the 6th mass extinction
We depend on nature; nature does not depend on us
It’s important for all of us to know this distinction
The industry of water is 400 billion dollars
Little do most know that bottled water is squalor
Biologists tested over 100 different brands
And found that it's no safer or cleaner than our tap water at hand
A flowing miracle that must be preserved
But an industrial population to be served
How can we sell the sky?
If we do not own the freshness of the air or the sparkle of the water,
How can they be for sale to buy?
In other parts of the world these things are truly sacred
We can no longer let this go on, water shall not be wasted.
This flow is life, and life is this flow
There are ways you can help, but first you must know
Indeed, ignorance is bliss
But bliss only lasts 'till our species is 6 feet below
I used to drink a lot of Fiji water in highschool.
