Water Not Weapons
© Cecilia St. King

Water not weapons - people want
Water not weapons - people need
Water not weapons - please hear our call
Water not weapons - please heed our call

War kills, war maims, war hurts, war slaughters
it separates countries, mothers and fathers,
brothers and sisters, sons and daughters
war wounds, war scars, war takes life

Water not weapons - people want
Water not weapons - people need
Water not weapons - please hear our call
Water not weapons - please heed our call

Water nurtures, water cleanses, water heals and refreshes
Water quenches and baptizes, feeds our fields and our fodder
Water is essential to every living being
Without we die - Water gives life

Water not weapons - people want
Water not weapons - people need
Water not weapons - please hear our call
Water not weapons - please heed our call

What are we planning for
What are we paying for
What is the cost of war

Water not weapons - people want
Water not weapons - people need
Water not weapons - please hear our call
Water not weapons - please heed our call
