Water, water, everywhere ...

water, water, everywhere
privatized
politicized
profitized
though a gift of life you are
like the proud rivers that flow
though like the air that we breathe
out of which life flows
what would Nature say
if the air that we breathe too is
privatized
politicized
profitized
that the free spirit in us too
will no longer be free
colonized
consumerized
cannibalized?

water, water everywhere
yet not a single drop spared
of the of the game of bulls and bears
of those priests living high up in the air
who even own the rain gods of water and air
