water

no-one can be at war with water
the bloods core composition is of water
the eyes staple part is also of water
water is a spirit of its watery self

some of our beloved have been taken by water
yet what streams through our eyes is water
the sweat that strains through our pore is water
and mammary milk is sweetened by water

life is a stormy ship above the earths waters
and when your poop is struggling in adverse waters
there is nothing youcan hold against water
it melts through the clench of your fist
