OH! WITHOUT WATER

HAPPY WORLD WATER DAY!



OH! WITHOUT WATER


Oh! The matter of water most solemnly and seriously matters

Without it, painfully and profusely empty will be the dish platters

Will accompany pitiable hunger cacophonies and sad clatters

Will invite unwelcome starvation slogans and biting blatters.


Oh! Without water, lives on the Earth will sorely fall flatter

Death will loom ominously and menacingly like a fly swatter

Joy will wince and wriggle, making survival sour and bitter

Alas! Our Self -wrought adversity will relentlessly batter.


Oh! Without water, mirth flowers will instantly fade and dry

Comfort and enjoyment fruits will soon fall down and die.

Once the heavenly haven of plenitude will stay in a sty

All living organisms will bid us an untimely baneful bye.


Alas! Thus it is high time; all humans loved and saved waters

Before unmindful, wanton follies tear all lives to innumerable tatters!


*platters – large flat dishes or plates for serving food

*blatter –repeated and noisy strikes

* wince – make a slight involuntary grimace or shrinking movement of the body out of pain or distress
