Of Bottled Water And Floods

Of Bottled Waters And Floods

A well spring speaks of pure flowing water
Not tainted nor full of salts -
Like oceans or pollution fodder

So we rely on lots of bottled stuff
Adding more plastics -
To the recycling trough

Once again taking something that's good
Adding our solutions -
Making things worse just because we could

Overwhelmed are we when the floods arise
Seeking higher ground -
Ignoring connections with unseeing eyes

It's all explained in Biblical proportions
Well springs and floods -
Told by prophets revealing folks' fortunes

God's word is preserved, bottled if you will
For us to sip daily -
An ultimate well spring, shielding us from ill

We are flooded, deluged, by worldly woes
Grabbing handy solutions -
As we rely on various company pros

Floods distract us, numbs us to disasters
But those daily sips -
Sustain and strengthen, making us masters

So next time you reach for a bottle of water
My hope is it is accompanied by -
A reading of a portion of Biblical literature

John 4:9-14
