Aw ! Aw! Aw! Our rivers are dying !
The once beautiful sparkling water
Is now dirty, polluted and useless
The once clean and drinkable water
Is now contaminated and poisonous
Aquatic life is gradually dying slowly
Our source of water is gradually going
Aw ! Aw! Aw! Our lagoons are bleeding !
Once surrounded by a canopy of trees
And guided by thick green vegetation
Is left to dry at the hands of deforestation
The deep waters are becoming shallow
The wide waters are becoming narrow
Our water bodies are crying for mercy
Aw ! Aw! Aw! Our lakes are crying !
Our waters are now the refuse dumps
A receptacle for different kinds of waste
Unlawful, untreated and unplanned waste
From solid, liquid and human waste
Islands of rubbish beginning to appear
Our great tourist attraction is no more !
Aw ! Aw! Aw! Our streams are crying !
Illegal miners have invaded the waters
Armed with equipments and chemicals
Searching for gold and precious stones
They dig, cut and destroy without mercy
They let their poisonous chemicals out
Water bodies are choking on their knees
Our waters are shouting for help !
We need water to drink and quench thirst
We need water to prepare our good meals
We need water to bath, clean and wash
We need water to prepare our medicines
We need water to cool our car engines
We need water to generate steam
We need water to quench burning fire
Etc etc etc
The uses of water uncountable !
We need water to survive !
Save our water bodies !
