RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: ENVIRONMENT
Poisoned Water
What is the cost of poisoned water?
They ask with a crooked smile
Have you lost a son or daughter?
Should we wait a little while?
Should we pretend it’s all okay?
We’ve been drinking it so long
We don’t know any other way
If our children grow up strong
That’s the price we have to pay
What we don’t know can’t harm
So keep us in the dark
We’ll live in blissful charm
There’s no flame without a spark
We’ll live our lives in peace
And yes some of us will die
We’ll pray for them on their release
And we’ll never wonder why
