Water In The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner

203 Words1 Pages
Waking up and having to walk for 5 kilometers to get water, and releasing the water is polluted with garbage, but you drink it anyway because it is the only source of water you have. That is what people in Africa have to do every day. And here we can just walk 10 feet to a water fountain and get clean water.
Water is something all living things need to survive, Living in a first world it's something we all take for granted and waste every single day.
However today there are around 1 billion people in the developing world that spend their entire day looking for it.
Before I end I would like to read a poem from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner By Samuel Taylor Coleridge.
“Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere.
