I've seen so many families sleeping on the roadside with improper clothes and blanket,
I've seen some kids sacrificing their childhood,
I've seen hope in their eyes for better tomorrow,

I've seen so many "Chotu" at dhabas struggling day and night to earn few wherewithal to support his family, to not let them sleep with empty stomach.

I've seen so many labourers carrying tons of weight, despite being dehydrated they never looked tired.
I've seen satisfaction on their faces after getting few bucks,
the level of satisfaction that we can't even dare to match.
I've seen them breaking their bones under the blazing sun & still not getting paid enough.

I've seen so many affluent people exploiting bodies and sucking stamina of those helpless "Families" , "Chotu" and "Labourers" and still not having a single drop of penitence.

Is it where we failed as "HUMANS" ?
