The River

You give me many names, depend on me for your living, worship me like a god but do you really care about me ?

I was supposed to be source of life but now i am just a dumping ground. I was supposed to quench humanity's thirst but now i am only a victim of its greed.

i was as pure as the heavens now i am just a falling menace.

I used to flow through all corners of the world yet today some people waste me rather than the people who need me.

I was the home to many a creatures, but now the fish no longer breathe with me.

I used to cry and my tears flooded the earth. sometimes I'd throw fits of rage. sometimes I'd destroy homes and take lives but no one seemed to get the message.

Now I am the one dying, I am the one holding on for my life, If you don't stop now Ill be gone And once im gone it will be your tears that will fall.
