Hungry Poor

For doing work we need food
For food we require money
For money we need to work -
Poor, hungry stomach?

Thanks. Just imagine the plight of the poor hungry man no employer would first give him food and then work he has to work hungry stomach to earn two square meal a day... Sometimes I feel we should go back to barter system. Thanks for reading and commenting, Take care. Have a good day. Regards, Rama

Suddenly struck to me we cannot go hungry for long what about the poor who is expected to work hungry stomach before he gets his wages. Thanks for visit and comment. Have a great day ahead. Take care. Regards, Rama
