Do They Have A Choice?
I see kids suffering to meet up to their three square meals.
I see kids deprived from going to school.
I see kids without formal education due to poverty.
I see kids that are dwelling in poverty.
I see kids that have no shelter.
I see kids that beg before they eat.
I see kids wandering the streets to check if they could get something to eat.
I see kids who never think they can live a beautiful life.
I see kids that just pray to get their daily food and pend every other necessity.
I see kids that have never experienced the use of a good toilet.
I see kids that have tasted wealth.
I see kids that thinks no other place is as beautiful as the slum that they live in.
I see kids who take their slum as their palace.
I see kids who suffering and smiling.
I see kids who have to do tedious jobs before they can eat.
I see kids that have been molested all because they're hungry and needed to eat something.
I see kids who can't protect themselves from the rain.
I see kids who can't cover themselves to prevent cold.
I see kids who do not have access to umbrella to protect themselves from the sun.
I see kids who pick pocket so they'll have something to eat.
I see kids who sleep under the bridge.
But do you know what, these kids are mostly born into poverty. I love them for something.
These kids are hopeful.
When they look up in the sky, they'd be hopeful again.
When they look at the star, they realize that their future can be as shiny as the star.
When they look up in the sky and see an aeroplane passing bye, they wave at it and sing some songs. They're actually hopeful that they may travel by air someday.
When they see a car, they wave at it and hope they have access to that car someday.
When they see a house, they admire it from afar.
When they see a doctor, they admire the profession.
The amazing part of it is, they are happy kids.
Wonderful kids!!!
But it's quite unfortunate that they were born in a situation like that.
Let's talk about me and you. We can change our situation for better. We have phones, we can always work online. Some of us have certificates, we can always work with it. We've got a choice. Not even a choice, we've got choices.
Now, let's go back to these kids that do not have the slightest education. Kids that can't operate phone or work in an office. What can they do?
Will they continue to live like that and even pass it to their kids?
Will they continue to live like that until a rich man hires them?
Will they influence the society with these acts?
Will the government help them in anyway?
Or what exactly will happen to them?
What choice do they have?
Do they have a choice?
Some society have label these kids and then there are been rejected even when the come to beg, they are driven a way
