Thoughts of Sh. Nadir Godrej on Water
Water By Nadir Godrej 9/3/2013 Though it's true, that this planet's called Earth. This should actually be cause for much mirth. I am sure that your Astronomy teacher Said that water's its distinguishing feature. And indeed by all rights we all ought to Call this planet not Earth but Water. As three fourths of its surface is sea So no shortage is apparent to me. But indeed there are people who say, That the wars that may now come our way Will be fought over water not land. But that's something I can't understand. Now some folks might well think I'm at fault, For forgetting the oceans have salt. But I feel, if we ponder on this, Some sea water could be used as it is For both cleaning as well as cultivation And much more with some desalination. It's quite true that this process isn't cheap But we don't need to make this big leap If there isn't demand at that price. All the same you'll agree it's quite nice For it
