Water 💦..... everywhere, don't let it not a 💧 drop to drink

The Farmer is Anna Data.
This is the day
தை 1
Day to thank
Lords
Surya-Chandra,
Annadata.
Annadatha Sukhibhava.
For all the grains
The whole world consumes,
For every morsel
The world owes a
Great debt,
Indeed,
Is eternally indebted.

Oh,
Should our gratitude extend?
Extend to what?
To the 
Ever drying,
Dwindling 
H2o,
The 💦 water.

The human abode 
Expands horizontally,
This despite,
Even as birth rate shrinking,
IVF centres mushrooming,
Mortality rate decreasing.

Horizontal expansion 
Is Bhima-like,
Highly hungry,
Devouring more
Water bodies -
Tanks, ponds, 
Why,
Even rivers.

Avvayar was right,
Very prophetic
When she said,
அளவுக்கு à®®ிஞ்சினால் 
à®…à®®ிà®°்தமுà®®் நஞ்சு.
The more,
The more poisonous.

It aptly holds good 
Even for over agri production.
That demands 
More water,
The scarce commodity.


What's the remedy?

JJ was right 
When she mandated
Rain ☔ water 💦 harvesting.

In many a semi-urban,
Rural construction,
It's still an eyewash.
There's no verification 
In letter and spirit 
Sense.

If you save a drop,
A tiny drop,
Not waste even a
Single drop,
Mind closing a leaking
Tap,
You do a yeoman service 
Not jus to yourself 
But to
Posterity.


நீà®°்இன்à®±ு à®…à®®ையாது உலகெனின் யாà®°்யாà®°்க்குà®®்
வான்இன்à®±ு à®…à®®ையாது à®’à®´ுக்கு.

- குறள் 20, அதிகாà®°à®®் வான் சிறப்பு
