Water Is Life

WATER IS LIFE People ignore me because of my simple nature If you ask me, I would not hesitate to say; When the creator takes, I take, however, every other thing comes after me. As a liquid, so colorless I am, I don’t deny the fact anyway But, tell you solemnly I am valuable more than any conceivable liquid that men embrace. Plant feel prideful enough, men thought they are the greatest Birds of the air with their glittering nature, this is because; I get enormous kiss from them every time! When I become angry for anything, I will put shame, disgrace to it It cease from its normal functioning. If men boast that they can do without me, notwithstanding the status Can they withstand my wrath when I cease for three weeks? Oh no! Even if they can, they will stink, struck them with disease- Disfigure their physic and they will kiss the mother Earth! Why should the birds be arrogant? Is it for; their unique feathers, attractive beaks, and their consequential legs? Do they not feed in fruits of trees? Which I nurture tenaciously from incarnation If I should give them my back side, they will simply add nothing but Manure to the mother Earth. What of the beautiful flamboyant flowers That produces sweet nectar for insect to live? What of The plant of the earth that every animal derives its life? Am I not the one that makes them paramount? If they decide not to be in speaking terms with me Oh no! I will make them as thin as an AIDS patient I will disfigure their out look to resemble such suffering from- Sickle-cell anemia or perhaps, kwashiorkor But, am so glad that, inter-alia, they concede that I should as well be attributed as life!
