The buckets with water
Are so heavy
I can not imagine carrying them
The children carrying them are so young and small
The women are so strong
I can not imagine having so much power
They use the water for cooking and drinking
But the water is filled with soap, dung and bilharzia
I can not imagine drinking it
At a certain age
The children start peeing blood
I can not imagine this being a normal part of life
Such strong hard working people
Being weakened by this hygienical circumstances
Only because of the place they were born
If health was not an issue
Can you imagine how strong they would be?
Can you imagine the power they would have?
Can you imagine what they could do for this world?
Next time when you complain, think about this
Be happy for the clean water that comes out of your tap
Be happy you don’t have to walk for water before taking a shower
Be happy for the nearby doctor and your possibilities to cure a lot of diseases
Even those simple things
We assume to be very normal
Is something to be grateful about
