We see them around us, we struggle to associate with them.
Their miserly lives ever glare before us. .
The doors we enter are shut before them.
The privileges we enjoy are not open to them.
They seek to survive, express themselves and live like us.
They struggle to make ends meet and their children can’t afford to go to school.
Worst hit by the pandemic, bedeviled by loneliness and endless thoughts of what the future holds, the fear of the unknown is their bane.
We are easily offended by their actions
We make excuses for our friends but change the goal post when it is their turn.
We treat our pets as more important than them.
The most uninformed among use their pictures as memes.
These people are no less humans.
Their condition is not an ailment.
They are managing to survive in a world where darkness looms.
In a world where they seem less important
They are no fewer humans
They seek to live as we do.
They deserve our sympathy
They deserve our compassion.
They deserve our empathy
They deserve our love
They deserve to live
They are humans and deserve equal love, support, care, and respect.
That we are better than doesn’t mean we should look down on them
Donate to lift the humans in need.
