Just Because by Tanner G. (for World Water Week)

Just Because…

Just because it’s polluted water,
Doesn’t mean they don’t drink it,
Doesn’t mean they don’t use it,
Doesn’t mean they don’t need it.

Just because it’s polluted water,
Don’t expect them to boil it,
Don’t expect them not to get sick,
Don’t expect them to like it.

Just because it’s polluted water,
It makes people sick,
It makes people die,
It makes people hurt.

Just because it’s polluted water,
