As I write this I can't help but think of the children and adults starving in Kenya and Somalia and ask if after reading my poem you will check out this link Save the children thank you. Now in 2016 some parts of the UK have been devastated by floods,too much rain ...a link for them is here Help for Victims of flooding
Water is the fluid of life,
Too much ,Too little,
Just enough we'll be alright!
Not enough, diseases breed, rife!
Water feeds our nations,
Too much,
Too little,
Just enough, nourishes us!
Not enough, promotes starvation!
Water feeds our soul,
Too much,
Too little,
Just enough, we play like fishes in a shoal,
Not enough, we perish in dust-bowls!
Water feeds our bodies,
Too much,
Too little,
Just enough, our bodies can perform
Not enough, we become malnourished zombies!
Water balances the earth,
Too much,
Too little,
Just enough, our environs flourish!
Not enough, we are thrown into a dearth!
Too much ?
Too little?
Or
just a drop?
Is that enough ?

ReplyDeleteAwesome, compassionate poem.
ReplyDeleteso very true - there are people who say that water will one day become more precious than gold... and for some countries it already is.. very well penned
ReplyDeleteBeautiful words! Those suffering in Kenya and Somalia are very much on my mind these days as well. If only we would all send them a drop... xo
ReplyDeleteExcellent poem. Well said!
ReplyDeletehave been tweeting out for donations for the hospital in Kenya helping ~ only just talking about this awful plight ~ and the terrible waste of some of our supermarkets/shops with food ~ juxtaposition is breathtaking ~ saw someone empty the contents of a whole window of food into a bin bag ~ disgraceful ~ nice one Kerry ~ great you provided the link ~
