YOUR RIVER, MY RIVER
I have a riddle; here is a riddle for you to crack. One River has outgrown itself and customized into two different species–Your River and My River. If Your River is called Iteru; what is My River?

—————
Your river is perpetual,
It’s older than time itself
Mine is a passer-by,
It’s a passing wind
Your river is long
Mine is tall
————–
Yours has no oculi but it sees
Mine has a pair but it sees not
—————
Your river flows
Mine walks
Yours is filled with colorless liquid
Mine with reddish liquid
————-
Your river ripples
Mine squelches
————–
Your river kills
Mine too
Yours drowns
Mine executes
—————
Your river is home to crocodiles, Chironex fleckeri
Mine shelters unintelligence, ignorance and thievery
Generous is your river,
A million lives depend on it
————
So selfish is mine,
It cares for selected few
Your river is called Iteru
Mine is called………..?
