What are we without


What are we without but with we are alive?

Water, H2O, Dihydrogen monoxide

The most complex yet simplest of all things 

THe sustainablility of life on Earth

What are we without but with we are alive?

Memories can be remembered and new ones can be formed

Materials can be reinvented and remade

Morals can be what one decides them to be when alone on an island

But what are we without but alive with?

Maybe that is the scientist in me 

But survival is  necessary in order to live

Not even the fittest can survive without

So what would I be if it weren't for it?

Freezing at an extreme low temprature

Boiling at an extreme high temprature

Nothing compares to such a simple molecue that is so binding and strong

Consisting of only oxygen and hydrogen 

I wouldn't be me without it

So my choice

Simple because what am I without it but alive with?

My choice, WATER
