No potable water
No motorable roads
No quality education
No constant electricity
No well equipped hospitals
No future for the pensioners
No place to lay down their heads
Not that these matter to them at all
Frankly they are not really bothered at all
That’s why they continued enduring the hell
They are used to living like those in the Stone Ages
Fetching their water from anything that flows with liquid
Using their heads, shoulders and backs as means of transport
Continues talking when the light is gone as if nothing happened
Treating themselves and hoping in God for cure when they are sick
And having faith that their kids and kindred would take care of them at old age.
