“You Don’t Miss Your Water…”
by Darryl Jackson
You don’t miss your water
at least not yet...
You don’t miss your water,
hard is it. however, we must ascertain
You don’t miss your water; it’s not hard with calcium,
it’s poisoned with acid rain.
You won’t miss your water
until the unthinkable
You won’t miss your water
until it’s no longer drinkable
You don’t miss your water
The spring water we drink is overrated
You don’t miss your water
The tap that we drink from has become dilapidated
You won’t miss your water
The well is not dry ~ it’s contaminated
Contaminated with poisons that invade
and cause not only our waters to wade
but causes our trees, plants, flowers and wild life to fade
You won’t miss your water
until our entire supply has become antiquated
No, you won’t miss your water
until it’s time to drink.
What is evident is that on these premises
we have an obligation to act, remaining conscious
lest we forget.

Thanks for joining Celebration Earth. As an architect you might be interested in the home we're going to build in patagonia, Chile - our goal is to make it an environmental showcase for sustainability.
Go well

Thanks for the friend request. No one should go thirsty - it's a painful experience.
Thanks for the friend request- I love the video and poem you've shared here.

The film also depicts the suffering of our most vulnerable creatures; their natural habitat destroyed by the way we dispose of our waste. Fossil fuels or its residue responsible for polluting not only the air but the waters that we depend on for nourishment.... Life here on Earth can be a pleasant one despite these disparaging images. As long as we are able to recognize our mistakes we can do something about them. It will take the effort of each and every one of us to make the change. But we have to act now, immediately to right the wrong that we have caused ourselves, our wildlife, and our Planet.
It starts with you and me. Today!!
