The River

The fast flow of water that splashes past is the nature around us, hitting back After all the pollution mixed in the purity The river fights back using power and certainty Until it destroys the polluters surrounding the site Where once was a natural beauty spot Is now an area of war, a fight The water will not be defeated by man It is too strong to hold off and too fast to catch As it destroys the houses and the farmers patch On this float of destruction, it will destroy anyone in its path Hold on to your houses and tie down your cars, The river is here and drifting quite far The water was always the provider of life And now it flows and is out to destroy it What have we done that is so bad to this river Disposal of waste and the throwing of litter Now, we moan about this flood, The river is only doing what man would, Defending itself, Against the destroyer!
