Water Poem by Colin Ian Jeffery

Water



The world bank in America decided the poor of the world must pay for water. But water sources are drying up, lakes and rivers turning into deserts.

Man cannot live by bread alone
Water is more precious than gold
Balance between life and death.

Global warming bakes dry
Streams, rivers, lakes, and melts glaciers
Turning forests into desert.

Crops fail and animals die
Africa and South America are in peril
With villages becoming cemeteries.

Couldn't agree with you more about water. There is a desert city, Phoenix, Arizona where people flock to. I keep wondering where is the water coming from for all those entering in? It is amazing that there are canals there that store rain water. I do also feel for those countries in peril.

Poignant and urgent concern indeed. You have done your part in bringing it up to the people's awareness and hopefully future actions. Grateful reader.

You tell them Colin. Nasty little greedy maniacs. They seriously think poor people should pay for water they can't even get.
