In limbo
I am not wondering why so many people want to go the United States. They say America is the land of the free with so many opportunities. I am starting to believe that. Two of my best friends are there trying out their luck. But these two did not come from poor families. They told me they cannot stand seeing and living in their native land that's why they opted to leave.
Back home, the local news still carry the biggest problem of our country (ever since I was small it hasn't change) which is graft and corruption. So how can it be stopped? I don't know if it will ever stop in this life or in my next life.
People have no jobs. They have no money so how can they afford to buy food. People are starving. What will happen to them? Will they just die? I guess it is better to be dead than to be alive and suffer. Street families are everywhere. They have sprung and had been a permanent fixture on the streets. They live there. They sleep on the cold pavement. Day in and day out. They are just there. Little children, babies, mothers and fathers. They have nothing. Their clothes are dirty, hair sticking together. They get their food from the garbage if they dont receive any alms.
They quality of education has dramatically dropped.
The government seemed not be doing anything to help the poor. The rich are still getting richer while the poor are dying.
Politicians are busy creating, legislating, implementing and amending the laws. We have so many laws already.
So, what will happen to next?
