Natural Dependence
Natural Dependence
We are dependent for 1
We live on dissimilar things
Two of the things are
Blood and water
Yes, blood and water
We strongly rely on them 6
We heard that water is life
And that it is colorless
But that blood is colorful
No life at all without them
That dependence is natural for 11
Both remain vital life liquids
Both give an existence to life
But blood runs in our veins
And it pumps our hearts
Dependence is so obvious as 16
Blood feeds our brains
And the body needs water
For it cleans our skin
So the body breathes well
Dependence is plausible for 21
A body with no blood
Does need no water
Just as a dead body
Does need no food
