You weren't using it
Not the way it was meant to be used
All that water, dirty to its core
Only you seemed oblivious
To just how much you'd tainted it
So we stepped in, with your blessing
Pretending not to hear the jokes
That cats hadn't just taken over your
Internet but also the galaxy
We're not cats, but we get why you
Might think we are, sub-standard
As your brains are
We tore your world apart
Lifting parts of the ground up
Layering others sections low and high
A series of rockbound strainers, of drains
Collecting the contaminants
Purifying as the water dropped
From highest to lowest
A never-ending cascade of life
For us, I mean
For you, well, exporting exotic meat
Is almost as lucrative as finding
New water sources
And while you're hopeless at world-tending
You're truly extraordinary
On a plate
