Hard Life

Cutting stones for building blocks doesn't bring the whole food at the table. Playing betting games force them to sell their clothes and shoes. Saving money becomes harder than collecting drops of rain during drought. Their children toil in the farms and streets, because they have no school fees; their daughters end up as pleasure toys for the rich, for they don't have enough money to buy sanitary pads and maintaining beauty; their sons become easy prey for politicians who pay a few hundreds for causing chaos to their opponents..... Gods' eyes shy away from their blessings, forcing them to turn from lawful men to gang-bangs, hiding around streets and lavish estates. Frustration sometimes force them to press the trigger, as they scoop out handbags, briefcases, and pockets. Their lives are sustained for a while in the midst of inflation and higher house rents. Their children go back to school, and food becomes more abundant at the dining table. Debts are also paid. Soon, the arms of the law stretch to their homesteads, and put them in handcuffs. Their wives and children watch in despair. The sole providers are sent in jail, to serve decades or life sentences. Hard life is all they know from outside or inside the prison bars.....
