Lost

Lost to recklessness

Never to make it to the shriveled tongues that thirst

Thirst

Thirst the men will never understand

Thirst that fuels their pockets with coins

Coins that can never quite shine as bright as the lives they outweigh




3.5 gallons to produce one sugar cube




















Water

Water is a gift

A gift that will run

Run from the abuse

Never return




156 gallons to produce one cup of coffee

Water is life

She belongs to all

She longs to fill mouths

Not pockets




1 gallon to grow one almond  










She longs to grow

To shine

To heal

325 gallons to produce one cup of rice
