Water - So cruel yet still so good
The essence of life - and the showing of pain
As the drink of life and all living
But also as tears known to all of animals
A crucial need to some of us
But also a simple waste to many others
Cleanliness is merely a dream to many
As others flush it to the ground
In areas with lots of it or less of it
A savior of hope - but still the murderer
Creation and destruction relies upon it
The enemy and the antidote in one
