Water! Water! Water! Poem by Elizabeth Padillo Olesen
Water! Water! Water!
Water, Water, Water!
Water for life -
to quench thirst
to wash away dirt
to sustain life
if food is denied.
Water, water, water,
diluted by toxic
coated by lead and copper;
bringing illness and rashes,
fear and hazard to everyone's life.
Oh, water, water, water
What has mankind done
to make you so unkind?
