Description
This is a photo of everyday life in the Philippines. A commonality in almost every street in the metro and suburbs - a homeless young boy, half naked and hopeless. Nothing left to wear, nothing left to eat. No home, no family. No hope - for now. If only we could do something. Something to change this cruel yet predictable world. One step at a time, one step at a time.--
"Whenever you feel sad
Whenever you feel down and out
Lost love, falling grades, crappy friends or what
The thinking of ruining your life
Ending or asking for something new
Cursing how much you hate it
Think about this
Someone would rather live your life
Someone who needs help rather than being fed
Someone... Someone..
Try living your life through us,
Live your life through our daily eyes."
--
Manila, Philippines.

Abut the image: It is wonderfully captured with the right emotion required.
I can very well relate with this photograph as I am from India and India is one of those countries which suffers a lot with these problems. More like this one and sometimes worse.
and you know what? We could do something, only if we tried to do something rather than sighing with the thought of "IF".
never mind.
congrats for the Daily Deviation

I placed IF cause some people can actually can't do anything even though they would.
It's the can't and not the wouldn't.
Wow. You're from India? Yeah, I heard some live in worse condition than this.
I hope you are safe and happy now.
Thanks a lot!

Your photo reflects more than the situation in Philippines...
In a way, this is a world wide phenomenon. Lets not turn our backs but also lets not have the illusion that this problem can be fixed easily.... :sad:

It touches... I get to see people like that in Paris that are sleeping in their sleeping bags just in the metro stations or even in the passages... Not even able to beg, just waiting for the day when they'll die...

Aww. I feel for them. It's so sad to see such places with people.
