Florida's Water

FLORIDA
I LOVE FLORIDA, THE WATER, WOODS, BREEZES’, PEOPLE. . ..
I HAVE SEEN FLORIDA CHANGE IN MY 35 YEARS OF LIVING HERE;
IN WAYS ONLY NATIVES TALK MUCH ABOUT; WHEN I WAS LITTLE THIS AREA WAS LUSH DEEP GREEN
NO ONE WATERED THE GRASS AND TREES THEY ALWAYS HAD WHAT THEY NEED TO GROW.
AFTERNOON SHOWERS IN THE SUMMER
SWIMMING IN THE SPRINGS, PLAYING AT THE BEACH & JUST HAVING A GREAT SUMMER DAY.
AS I HAVE GROWN, I HAVE NOTICED THE SUMMER AFTERNOON RAINS NO LONGER COME,
THE GRASS AND TREES ARE THIRSTY.
THE SPRINGS LARGE AND GRANDIOSE BOILS, NO LONGER GUSH LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER.
THE BEACHES HAVE CHANGED TOO, SAND DUNES ONCE FULL OF SEA OATS, SCRUB TREES AND LITTLE BEACH CRITTERS, HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH LARGE CONCRETE CONDOMINIUMS, AND PAVED DRIVEWAYS.
I CANT HELP FEEL SAD ABOUT THIS ALL,
THIS IS THE STUFF WE’RE MADE OF; AND IT’S ALL FADING FAST.
WE ARE POLLUTING THE AQUIFER AT A RATE THE SPRINGS CAN NO LONGER DILUTE.
GROWTH IS NOT SLOWING DOWN.
OUR HEAD WATERS THAT CHARGE THE SPRINGS AND RIVERS, KEEP THE OCEAN AT BAY.
OUR FRESH RESERVE IS UNDER SIEGE; FED POISONOUS RUNOFF AS RECHARGE.
FLORIDA IS IN A STATE OF DEATH.
WE MUST ACT NOW! AMEND WHAT WE HAVE DONE TO OUR RESOURCES, WHILE WE STILL CAN.
NORTH FLORIDA IS OUT OF WATER TO WITHDRAW, AND WE ARE IN DEEP TROUBLE PEOPLE.
WATER MANAGERS, TAKE HEED; FLORIDA NATIVES HAVE TOLD YOU TO BACK OFF AND YOU DID NOT LISTEN. NOW YOU HAVE NOTHING LEFT BUT YOUR OLE’ FINAGLING GAMES.
PEOPLE OF FLORIDA: THE WATER MANAGERS ARE FROM THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY!
I’D SAY EDUCATION IS THE KEY, BUT THESE CARPETBAGGERS HOLD ALL THE KNOWLEDGE THEY NEED.
DO SOMETHING.
