The sight of someone walking along the shores of the Great Lakes, drinking bottled water, at a cost per litre higher than gasoline, while the largest fresh water system in the world lies polluted at their feet, is mind-boggling.
that liquid that you’re holding, that bottle in your hand
you though it was water you were drinking, not a corporate brand
you were thinking it was safer, cleaner, and better for your health.
but were you thinking about who profits from the wealth
of the public water that’s been taken for free
and sold back to you for an exorbitant fee
listen my friends, listen up folks
Aquafina is Pepsi; Dasani is Coke
they’re selling filtered tap water, and this is not a joke
… and is probably what the next big war will be over…
And *that* is why I just drink tap water. Although I must confess that I’ve been known to filter it. 🙂
