Alarmed were the people of that town
Ambulance running here and there down
'Boil Boil'was the slogan everywhere
Bitterly affected by the water there
Cryptosporidium, escherichia coli, campylobacter
Be vigilant about parasites'and bacteria's enter
Dwelling devils in sources of water
Killing horror in bloody terror
Unaware were the authorities.Themselves drank
Stomachs kneaded by nausea and cramp
Pained.Painful more even in kids' camp
Affected were the cattle and crops to rank
Soberly patterned the way of that town
Strongly negligible the council of that town
Though happens at times better beware!
Cruelly contaminated that water be
Cautiously drinking must we be
Dissecting those devils to vanish
Boil your water your lives to cherish

'Boil your water your lives to cherish'... That is a good message...a message every administration would love to give to the people...for, you know, where as water as it originates in the sky by the composition of hydrogen and oxygen atoms present in the clouds by the work of electricity-lightning- (AgnErApa - Water from Fire? ! - Thaithariya Upanishad) is pure, as it comes down through the atmosphere it absorbs gases and dust, baceria and virus and on reaching earth is half contaminated and on earth the conatmination level gets augmented through the contact of biological and similar wastes...so water from any natural source on earth is impure and hence is treated before supplying to humans...and treating you know, even if you treat water in heaven if you do not know how to handle it hygenic it turns impure! A good poem that brings out the helplessness of the administration, of the social apathy and of the importance of social awareness on proper use of water...10

'Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation... even so does inaction sap the vigour of the mind.” Says - Leonardo da Vinci This poem caught my attention as well as made me go one step ahead towards the state of our mind. Boling water keeps the germs away Stimulated mind, learns its sway. Thank you.
