Clear water from a mountain source
seems to burst up like a sprite,
then gallops downwards like a horse
brilliantly clear and foaming white.
Without fresh water life will die,
it is more precious than all gold.
So we must seriously try
sparing consumption as we’re told.
Although fresh water reserves sink
we waste a lot without a thought.
We should, however, start to think
what the careless spending brought.
