Purify - remove impurities from, increase the concentration of, and separate through the process of distillation; make pure or free from sin or guilt; become clean or pure or free of guilt and sin.
The water is so dirty, a positive danger to drink
Yet what do we do to help the poor, the old and the young?
So often left to suffer the illnesses even just left to die
Prevention is so very simple, why in all that is right is it just not done?
A little time, effort and with trivial expense
Purify their water so it is safe to drink
Doesn’t take much, just a woman’s sense of logic
So much can be done, if we just take the time to think.

Irrational - not consistent with or using reason; real but not expressible as the quotient of two integers; irrational number: a real number that cannot be expressed as a rational number
The knee jerk reaction is instant, that’s true,
Not always right, there is little self will
To act without thinking is always irrational
And often leaves us regretting , with no soothing pill
So take time to reflect before jumping in
Is it right or do you need to just walk away?
A little thought is all that is needed, oft not heeded
Maybe for once it could save your day.

Impute - attribute or credit to; attribute (responsibility or fault) to a cause or source
There is no room for doubt, we have to be sure
Our decision today bears a heavy weight.
Do we believe the evidence given under oath
And send the man to years behind the prison gate?
Is there enough there for us to him impute
Or is there some doubt, enough to set him free?
This is a burden most heavy, called jury duty
Thankfully it happens rarely to the likes of you and me.
