Like Water


I create the life within you

the colours you see

the vibrance in the atmosphere

 

I create the flowers the trees

I provide for the creatures of this earth

including yourself

 

I destroy the villages who don't pay tribute to the sea

the halls of worship that steal your money

 

I wash away your sins

the bloodstains on the streets

the dirt from your labours

 

I am loving caring gentle forgiving

I am destructive adamant

flowing everlasting and continuous
