No Fishing

A law has been established in an area, "No Fishing,"
but if you live in that area and are poverty stricken,
you will break that law to sustain yourself and your family.
No law can be established without consulting the environment of everybody.
Laws are meaningless if people are not provided their basic needs.

I so agree! Food close by...hungry tummies. Should not be.
