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? 

By Tearz Ayuen

—————

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………..?
