More Precious than gold

You take it for granted ,
     more often than not
     abuse it  and waste it
      even foul it a lot.

But it's really a treasure
     unseen by  most
     a necessity in life
     by both parasite and host

Yet by mankind, plant,
     animal, or any other life
     it is needed day by day
     just to survive.

You appreciate warmth
     you know you need air
     can't do without light
     yet you  misused this without care

Ask the farmer, he certainly knows
     or people in the desserts which suffer the most
    
It is WATER  .. we all need to survive
     Let show some respect for it
     or we won't be alive.
