Water

Slips right through your fingers

Cool, clear, never staying in one shape

We wash in it, drink it, swim in it

Cook with it, spray it on our grass

Water is the very base of our lives

And like all things that we need

The wealthy try their best to take it away

It is not meant to be sold, but hoarded

Only in a good way, for all people

We must learn to keep it pure

So that we are nourished, healthy

We must also keep it pure for the life

That lives in bodies of water

We must not let our greed for fuel

Override our need for water

We must send our love to Mother Earth

And find ways to restore her heart
