Well
How to explain to a city youngster
What is a well, what is a spring
When the millennials, born and raised
With tap water and coca cola
How can you expect them to learn
“Water from the well you drink
Of the well-digger you should think?”
“A drop of water you receive
Is to be repaid with a well for all?”
“Water from a well never mix up
with water from a river?”
And how “tears well up my eyes?”
At a time when the globe is warming up
And underground water gets lower and lower
One day, when all wells dry up into oblivion
And the earth becomes as barren as Mars
No need to explain any more
The last moisture
May be the last drop of tears of a human

ANGELA HERE - Good Evening AROBOT Thnks for an interesting Poem ! Water H~O~H is a simple but very interesting and essential substance. Planet Earth is different form the other Solar Planets because of its abaundance of liquid water. There are millions of gallons of liquid water (mainly salty ~ 3.5 % salt) for every Human being on the Planet. To be potable water has to be purified and in the Developed Countries in the West we take it for granted that Tapwater is drinkable. I once drank Well Water in Mexico and ended up with MONTAZUMAS REVENGE ~ bad tummy ! The Global population is growing and water pollutin is increasing. WE must conserve water and ensure evone of us has access to an adequate supply of PURE POTABLE WATER ~ AMEN NO WATER = DEATH !
Love & Peace & Joy
ANGELA & BRIAN
