Waste it now, lose it forever!



The man brushed his teeth while the water kept running,
Not bothered to close the tap until he finally rinsed his mouth,
He probably thought what difference does it make in a few seconds,
Not just him, it's a serious issue most of us don't even reckon.

A young lad entered the bathroom,
Turned on the shower and let a strong steady stream drench him,
With his favourite numbers playing on the mobile, he kept humming or singing,
The shower went on for half an hour or even more,
He wanted to go on and still didn't feel like stopping,
Unless his mother asked him to come out and came knocking!

How many of us forget the privilege of getting a shower daily,
When we end up wasting more water with an increased shower time,
While thousands are dying without water, remember, this is no less than a crime.

Every morning when people switched on the motors to fill their personal water tanks,
The water kept overflowing for quite a few flats,
Hearing it fall down like that - my heart sank,
No one was bothered to use a water tank alarm and save the wastage,
Who's tank overflows every day? I said loudly on purpose,
The silence of spectators makes me all the more nervous.

If you don't want water to be history,
Act now and do what you can do every single day,
Save water, save the earth, be clever
Or waste it today and lose it forever!
