Out of Water

Life sprang out of water, mysteries remain Deep in unexplored, aquatic world Poisons and chemicals in it we drain Life sprang out of water, mysteries remain Nature tries to recycle to clean again Lest its delicate balance be twirled Life sprang out of water, mysteries remain Deep in unexplored, aquatic world We will next fight over water Predict the sane and wise among us Its shortage is now fact of the matter We will next fight over water Make the earth red with slaughter Like animals if we continue to fuss We will next fight over water Predict the sane and wise among us

Excellent use of the Triolet form, Mohan. Water is a giver of life, without it we are doomed. We have to look after it; nature treats us well, as long as we reciprocate. Congrats on your deserved podium win. // paul
