Mind Water Poem by Pradip Chattopadhyay
Mind Water
Check faucets and pipes for leaks
Don’t leave them leaking for weeks.
If you smoke to evade constipation-al day
Don’t flush cig-butt and use toilet as an ashtray.
Ditch the habit of taking long showers
To remain clean is not to bathe for hours.
Don’t let running water flow in gush
While you’re busy with the toothbrush.
Your mouth though you must cleanse
Keep a glassful of water for the rinse.
When you clean vegetable or dish
Don’t let the faucet run as you please.
Be not under the slightest doubt
If you waste water it will run out.
The way we waste water future isn’t bright
For supply of water is only too finite.
Conserving water it makes a prudent sense
For on it depend we our earthly existence.

A timely note, wonderfully written. An environment friendly poem from an environment conscious poet. You get 10/10 from me for this timely warning, as they say that the third World War will be fought for water crisis. Only God knows, but to me, it indeed is a sin to waste water or use water unscrupulously.
