Water

Water

A Poem by Ahmad Cox

Water
by Ahmad Cox
Water give us life
It flows in our bodies
It flows through our veins
It flows through everything
It's miraculous
When you really start to think about it
It's able to support life
Life wouldn't have been able to propagate
Or to flourish
Or to thrive on our planet
If we didn't have this miraculous compound
It gives life to the creatures of the sea
So that they may swim
And exist 
Caressed in it's life giving embrace
Everything on Earth depends on water
Everything needs water to survive
It lives in the trees, 
It lives in the sky
It lives in the oceans
It lives in the land
Through rivers
Through streams
Through rain 
The water flows
Filling the Earth with it's life giving power
And yet we still don't truly understand 
Just how miraculous water really is
If we truly understood
We would protect our water
And revere the life that the water sustains
But instead we dump our trash in the oceans
We dump our pollutants on the land and in the rivers
And we make the water
And the oceans
And the seas so toxic
That barely anything else can survive in it
We need to begin to respect the miracle that is water
And the life that it sustains
If we are to survive
Because if we diregard the water around us
We are also disregarding ourselves
