Two parts Hydrogen & one
Oxygen.
The outward view may be a deception.
What seems, can be far from conception.
What looks shallow, might be an abyss.
What feels pure, might be amiss.
What seems sweet, may be saline.
What suffocates, is also a lifeline.
What can kill, can create life.
What placates, also generates strife.
When it comes to water, the truth will be
the same
It is just H2O, call it with whatever name.
