The Liquid Gold

The Liquid Gold In different forms of state it exists Ice in polar zones and mountain peaks we see Not only fresh and flowing it is in our rivers, But also salty and static it is in ocean and seas Vapor blown by wind from lakes form rain in the hills Water the most precious substance given by Mother Nature A clear flowing substance with a flat taste Useless it may seem, when we don’t need it But precious than gold it is, when we lack it Great distances people walk, when searching for it Conflicts, injuries and death have occurred, when craving for it Us all, we are not only required to save it, but also protect it Water the most precious substance given by Mother Nature It’s not only required by living things, But also a lot of it required in building and heavy engines Lacking it for a week the whole house stinks Its lack does not only affect our health, but also our economy it slows Not forgetting its catchments were points of interest to early kings Water the most precious substance given by Mother Nature Tens of liters we waste when we leave a tap running When we pollute rivers and lakes, aquatic live we are harming By protecting our Catchment areas, thousand s of lives we will be saving Since it’s given to us for free by nature Let’s learn to save it and use it well remembering those without it Water the most precious substance given by Mother Nature (By Waweru Ngugi)
