I have seen the future <br />Water famine and revolutions <br />Wars over water, <br />No not the kind of balloons <br />Of water people throw at <br />Each other, nor <br />A wet t. shirt competition, <br />But real war with blood that <br />Runs into dry gutters <br />Rustlers who kill animals for <br />Their blood and leave carcasses <br />To rot in the field. <br />Chilled blood with a chaser of water <br />Only the rich can afford. <br />The unwashed masses, with <br />Plastic Jerry cans, overturning <br />Water tankers, shower units <br />Have been dismantled. <br />Yes, I have seen the future and it stinks.<br /><br />oskar hansen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/water-shortage/
