Poem Title:
Poem
Preface: There is entirely too much water being consumed. People should be satisfied with thirst and being dry. They should think about desert sand, romancing dunes and bleached bones in repose. People become inflated with hydration Leaving faucets on, mouths wide open Under the deluge of flowing water spouts Every drop is counted against humanity Wasted on stupid sacks of wet fluidity Walking around with tongues hung drooling Carbon based units most insidious when wet Something is wrong when not forgotten Hydration is the sin of water taken in Environments remember every sin Nature hates you because you take from it The sum worth of oceans is in their taste Is salt not dry? Is it the flavor of the day? Environments are crying for revenge against humanity Parched deserts are void of thinking water There is no shame in thirst Under the sun there is no shade to hide Heat and land flow dry on to tomorrow Adding water to a person porous is a sin Being parched is not when plugged up properly Emptiness can be dangerous but it is kind This condition of dry is a state of holiness There is nothing that a desert can not fix That which buries you is friendly Leakage is a crime against humanity People who drink will end up in a well Will sink in perpetuity to new depths Hollow to the bitter end down in a hole Not worthy of a soul worth drowning Emptiness will follow you to oceans depths In debt you will be swallowed whole by them They rise to levels with high tides to float To their horizons saturated with insurgence Where will you go when waters stop you cold? Fluid intake is a compromise to thirst Don’t do it if you are wise It weighs heavy on the bladder of the drinker People who leak on lawns should not Should be arrested and pay high fines Urination is not the nation I had in mind When I moved into the community Actions have consequences when not dry There is a cure called incarceration It comes with a slice of bread but no water Because that would be wrong For the damage done to lawns
