Poem:
We exist, submerged
in the womb, that inner sea,
until our first breath.
In our veins flows blood
with the sea’s salinity…
seas…where life began.
Water in our cells,
water in our mother’s milk,
water in our tears.
We are of water…
bodies more than half water.
Water sustains us.
Water in rain clouds,
streams, rivers, lakes, seas, oceans,
aquifers, ice caps.
Beauty of water
soothes our spirits, inspires us…
Water refreshes.
Every living thing
needs clean, life-giving water
for body and soul!

We do, what mankind has done to our rivers, oceans, lakes and drinking water supply is inexcusable.
