Unwashed Waters

What once was clean now flows rancid
the dawn of the setting sun.
What once gave life to ev’rything
no longer brings health to one.

Water without which nothing lives
is polluted by all men,
and no-one seems to care about
life that will cease to be when,

the earth lies dormant, hard as steel
no plant life can be nourished,
mother earth lies cold and barren
where life once lived and flourished.

No vegetation there for food
the animals soon will die,
no food for man will then be found,
mankind’s judgment draweth nigh.

Man now controls his destiny
on the earth by God’s design,
but conservation is a must,
our future is on the line.

Clean water once was ev’rywhere,
‘twas precious and so dear.
Now mankind’s raging waste and greed
leaves us only doubt and fear.
