WaterA Poem by Ahmad CoxWater 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
