Water, Humans' Basic Needs
Water is the BASIC living unit
Water is what people deserve
Water is something people need
But it’s something some people don’t have
The issue is…
That people don’t understand
That people don’t know
That their water isn’t clean
That their water is very contaminated
That their water is.
Horrible...
But isn’t CLEAN water what they deserve?
Then WHY is it not what they are getting?
What have people do to stop this problem?
They create signs that don’t have power
They
“Fundraise”
to support rural areas
They
“Help”
dig wells to provide clean water
This might be good for a moment
But people don’t get it
These “helpers” don’t want to help
They do this for a few pictures
To put on their
Facebook
and
Instagram.
They do not know
That
663 million people are dying
1.8 billion still lack water
Thousands still drink dirty water
And yet WE...
We still can’t help
Yet
WE
Who have what it takes
Yet
WE
Who have the money
Yet
WE
Who know the issues
Yet we who still sits
Silently.
We could be out there arguing for rights
We could be out there protecting those people
Who can’t stand up for themselves
Who doesn't know their own rights
Who still suffers every day
It’s us who CAN change this issue
It’s us who CAN make a difference
It’s us who can build the future
So let’s get up and help
Not for you nor for me
But for the people...
Who actually needs it.

Providing clean water for rural areas around the world has been something that every country is concerned about and is taking action to prevent. But sometimes people might have a different view on this issue and I take this chance to present my Point of View about this Human Rights.
