"The Need of the hour"
"Every little drop adds to the ocean" We have heard this idiom a number of times. But as of now I am talking bout the literal meaning of the sentence. Yes, if every little drop adds to the ocean then every drop that we consume subtracts from the ocean. If we rethink before wasting every single drop we might end up making a difference. Are we aware of the depletion of fresh water resources? We must have heard a zillion times that in the near future we will be deprived of fresh water. Yet, do we understand the gravity of this topic? The basic aim in our life is to ensure a secure and bright future for our children, but if now we do not take any measures to save water then our coming generations would not be able to survive. Alas! this is the truth that many of us do not realize. But it is shameful enough to know that although most of us know about these problems yet we don't try to look out for appropriate measures to avert the danger.
Its all brown,Its all dry,
What if they had given a try,
No rains, the damns are at level zero,
No grains, there wasn't water enough for them to grow.
Glaciers have all melted,
The rivers once rush-hush are now depleted,
The wells are arid,
Ground water drained,
Its all brown, Its all dry,
What if they had given a try,
Just a little effort,a small gesture,
Would have procrastinated if not cure,
`
A five minute shower,
Instead of an hour,
Closing the tap while you brush,
It wouldn't have
costed much,
Its all brown, Its all dry,
What if they had given a try,
Believe me it would have been wiser,
Not to have chosen diamonds and gold over water!!
