Water is life.

Asher matome chipu 1985 (Marothobolong)



Water.
Natural spring water is outpouring.
From the deep fountain's outflow.
Where birth of new water blooms.
Then water moves with sprighliness.
From the fountain top.
Flow down to the valley.
For our reach.
Welome it with soaking our hands.
And Drink hope.
Hope upheld with belief.
Which needs to be cared for and defended.
To hold water with your hands
Is to hold your right with both hands.
Raise your hand into a fist.
Pull it into the air.
And shout water is the water is life.
And the world will be plausible.
Exude water from the tap.
Ground becomes wet,weep.
Souse moisten douse.
Bring the world into a briny depth of ocean.
Maritime the sea animals float.
You surf through the water.
Life has been released into the world.
Water is vital and living to both living and death.
Drink rainwater.
Water from the rain.
Create saliva inside your mouth.
To save the water.
Because water brings life to existence.
