Why are we facing drought
When seas hold plenty of water
It’s because of global warming
That the world is getting hotter
A trickle of water
That leaks from a tap
Can in the future
Change the shape of your map
Cutting down trees
Instead of planting more
Is the root cause
Of bringing trouble to our door
Safe and clean water
That was free and oh so clean
Is now sold in bottles
And in supermarkets mainly seen
Water-borne diseases
Are now so very rife
That it’s no wonder at all
They are claiming many a life
This is a clarion calling
And a final wake-up call
For the lakes and wells are emptying
And we are against the wall
So on this ‘world water week’
Let’s take a pledge
To save and conserve water
And move in, from the edge
