Save The Water, Save Our Future Generations
A villanelle for the challenge
Save The Water, Save Our Future Generations
Let us save the water! It's blue, it's cool
Whose is to blame? We can't live without it
I do my best all day, I'm not a fool
***
Water is everywhere, a big cool pool
Think about it and just sit for a bit
Let us save the water! It's blue, it's cool
***
Oceans, rivers, lakes are not a cesspool
Some people and companies will admit
I do my best all day, I am not a fool
***
And what about sinkholes? For sure, are cruel
Related to fracking, I had a fit
Let us save the water! It's blue, it's cool
***
Spills, they drill, what a bill, please overrule
Who pays for leaks, under creeks that sit
I do my best all day, I am not a fool
***
Water tastes like a pill, kills, make a rule
People hurt, we assert, greed, use your wit
Let us save the water! It's blue, it's cool
I do my best all day, I am not a fool
