The effects are building...

This is sad. This is so sad. Who do you blame? Isn't it all of us? Don't we need to face these problems as a planet? Can't we get beyond our national borders and manage the shared resources of our planet globally? The consequences of this refusal will affect us all. If this continues only the very rich will have access to clean water. It may not be this year or the next or the next decade, but it is coming. Our most precious resource belongs to us all. What is the cost of waste or pollution to humanity --- as well as all life on this planet?

Who Pays for This? Who Benefits from This?

Where does this go? Is it in all of us? Why are we bombarded with advertisement to purchase drugs that we didn't even know existed? Should the money makers be held responsible? Should they be punished?

Perpetrators Poison Themselves

And the Perpetrators Poison their Own

No One is Immune!
We are all victims.

Water is Us --- We are Water

Separate us you may try but we are water... the same water that was the pee of dinosaurs. The same water molecules are in you as in me... are in fish as are in cats as are in you as are in me. We cannot exist without water. The pollution of our times is in our blood. In your blood and my blood. Without water we die. And really we are walking pools of water with an epidermis that keeps it from evaporating and a circulatory system that keeps it pumping around through us. And a lymphatic system that seeps. And a brain filled with watery thoughts. Same as you. Same as me. Same as all mammals, reptiles and amphibians.

Life on this planet is water. Essential. Essential. Essential. And we depend on it for all aspects of our lives. Water is golden. Water is forever.

So when our water is stolen or putrefied or poisoned in any way life on this planet is being degraded. When water is made unusable and toxic a crime is being committed. And it is not just a crime against a specific law or statute. It is a crime against life. And when we humans are effected by this crime it is a crime against humanity.

When the water that a people depend on is taken or usurped, it is a crime against those people. When the water that circulates around the Earth is made dirty to life it is a crime against our planet life... against Gaia. When we think of it in human terms it is a crime against humanity.

Crimes against water are crimes against humanity!

And the criminals must be recognized and brought to justice.

And the water will drip and fall to the floor
And the water will run down the hall out the door
And the water will pour from each house in the town
And the water will silence and completely surround
And the water will come from the eyes in your head
And the water will flow from each of our beds
And the water will wash all the stains on our feet
And our hands and our heads will completely retreat
And the water will come without a sound in the night
And the water will make all that’s wrong into right
And the water will keep all the life that we’ve known
But the water will drown out every ungrateful soul
It will take what is given and leave only dust
It will dry up the cornfields and leave only husks
Water is golden and sacred for life
But water is mutinous and takes what it likes.
