Water by Adam Rutter

 

Water precious resource on Earth Essential to life

Human beings take water for granted

Squander, Pollute it

Chemicals, sewage Killing creatures

Taken many millennia to evolve

Face extinction Humans, tarmac concrete land

Deluge of rainfall

Fills hard ground

Runs along surfaces Like torrents

Flooding streets, buildings, arable land

Topsoil washes away

I found the last 3 lines particularly poignant...there is so much implied in the statement "Topsoil washes away."'
