Oxygen
I'd hold my own breath,
I'd hold it all day,
Oxygen's useless,
Is what I would say...
I don't need that gas,
It's so overrated,
I can live without air,
Is just what I stated...
My face turned to red,
And then it turned blue,
My muscles got tired,
Had dizziness too...
Finally, finally,
I think I passed out,
'Cause I had a dream,
Heard oxygen shout,
Of air,
I make about,
20%
But I'm an important,
Element!
From fish,
To plants,
It's life that I give,
Living things need me,
They need me to live!
So do me a favor,
Breathe deeply for me,
Stop holding your breath,
'Cause oxygen's free!
Oxygen:
Oxygen is the third must abundant element and is essential in the respiration of living organisms. Oxygen is produced by plants, algae, and bacteria during photosynthesis, and along with hydrogen, it is the one of the elements that make up water.
