Dear water 💦
You've being my 99%
Right from infant.
Cleaning, detoxifying and rejuvenating.
Your duty is your duty,
And no one can take your place.
Coca-cola tried but failed.
Pepsi tried but couldn't break the Guinness Book of Record.
Your place na your your place.
I know it's not pride
You're just doing your job.
Dear Water 💦
I would've written this in form of an essay
But I'm busy
So I choose this format instead
To state my points in clear terms.
Listen, the world has adulterate you.
They have given you taste, colour and odour which you desire not.
They've blocked your passage with waste.
Your abode is warm, too warm and your inhabitants are dying for man's sake, gradually, gradually going into extinction.
Dear Water 💦
The world has used you but your usefulness can't be exhausted.
Farmers, builders, house keepers, caterers - all of us - have tempt you beyond your strength,
Erecting structures in your channels and try to make a fool out of you.
Yes.
Your comeback was felt, even the blind could testify.
Some said you were jealous but I know you were only reclaiming your territories.
Dear Water 💦
You've played your part well like Ronaldo
We ought to do same, for where our right stops, yours begin.
We should learn to swim like fishes, and mark out territories without conflict.
Keeping you clean means keeping us clean and your cleanliness is our healthiness.
