We don't own the water
We borrow it
As humans on this planet
We're privileged to have the ability
To build shelter almost anywhere
We had choice to make
Be naturally balanced or not
We choose nature
To ensure innocent wild ones
Don't lose their natural necessities of life
By the flush and forget it actions of humans
Water treatment is paramount in building design
Naturally passive building design
Like green roofed above parking
Which mitigates de-watering
Lower watershed table
A destructive construction practice
Required to build
Underground parking and sewers
Respecting our Code of belief
Mitigating anthropogenic pollution degradation
Neighbourhood-First.com Co-Ops
Have their own waste water treatment plant
Every time you see a wild one drinking
From a safe, cold water shed stream
Take heart knowing your choices
Made the wild one's life better
By living in a place which respects
Nature's necessities of life
Protecting fresh, clean and cold water
