Suck the streams

Streams take and give to rivers
rivers take and give to lakes
lakes in their turn give to other rivers
and those rivers pass the giving on to oceans
oceans give to sky and sky to streams
and round and round
without stealing from each other
but in the hierarchy of humanity
the streams are always giving.
