What I Need To Survive
Salt! do not drink it;
Needs to be purified to consume.
Ingested in this state makes you vomit,
Possibly put you in a tomb.
Without it you’ll meet your doom.
This cannot wait.
Even essential to help flowers bloom.
But looking around I think life sealed my fate.
More important than the milk from a mother’s tit
More valuable than an heirloom,
More essential than a fitbit,
More crucial than a clean pair of fruit of a loom.
Comes pouring down when the sky is gloom.
Helps me maintain my heart rate.
Enjoy drinking it in the lunchroom.
Makes sure I don’t over insulate.
Lubricates your joints so you can sit.
Aid in cellular transport, I assume.
Can even find it in your spit
Mother’s wait for it to break in the delivery room
Can’t get it up with a broom
Makes up about sixty percent of our body weight
Acts as a shock absorbent so we don’t go kaboom
Keeps us in a homeostatic state
Surrounds us when we are in the womb
When it is frozen we can figure skate
Keeps us clean in the washroom
Fresh water is what I believe is great.
