Of the rich and the poor

Karrar Hussain

Life is not a bed of roses to soothe every individual. One has to strive for livelihood; as the race to survive surrounds all. The major hunt and victim, in this game of sorts, are the poorest people who are gravely affected at a large-scale. Whenever we considerate over issues of immense significance, this community is left at the rear.  Apart from their lesser opportunities and hardships, they used to die in harness. Such a level of poverty breeds many ill-gotten things, and their deprivation of wealth, resources and negligence continues owing to the shifting of prestige at the highest level. Every little effort is done keeping in the interest of elite’s interest in this way poverty breeds corruption, that leads to chaos.

Whilst the highest personnel are hyper busy in their own making way out the poor has no one to look after except the Omnipotent. This depicts the orthodox capitalist society where the beneficiaries get the surplus value  with no work; while the proletariat with a bunch of workforce reaches no where. Karl Marx rightly mentioned the exploitation of the poor in the hands of riches. The overwhelming challenges become the noose of the neck for the poor and subject them to live from hand to mouth.
