Simply Water


Miles of walking

The privileged get in steps

Water

So essentail

Needed for life

No substitute

Water

Same amount since the dinosaurs

Every drop accounted for

Yesterday, today, tomorrow

BAD Water

Malaria

Cholera

Typhoid fever

Dysentery

More deaths than war, terrorism and weapons of mass destruction 

3.4 million dead a year 

WATER

Should not be a killer

WATER

It heals

Brings life

Enjoyed by many

WATER

No longer should it be feared

No longer shall it kill 

No longer shall it be a distant dream

WATER

Should be fresh clear and flowing from every spout

Should be avaliable to everyone

WE

Can be the wave of relief to those who have thirsted for too long 

Can bring streams to those in the desert 

Can be the rainfall of hope to the lands of dry

WE CAN BRING LIVING WATER
