95 22nd March, Save the Water !-a poem

 

After a long penance,
Bhagirathi brought water on 'The Earth'
People otherwise would have died
Due to its dearth

Water, water, everywhere, God has sent 
But in making it non-potable
No stone 

The man has left.

He immersed in
He dumped in
He floated waste in
This is the way he paid respect to the efforts
His ancestors put in.

Lucky are those who get the water 
Unfortunate are those who pine for water
Disgusting are those who waste into the sewer.

Wake up, man! your mistake will cause
Every tongue withers at the root.
"Save it," conserve it, "keep it clean"

Otherwise, all throats will be choked with soot.
