The daily wage

Fight with poverty

By Rohitha LankaPublished 10 months ago 1 min read

The daily wage....

He is tall and handsome

He has no shortcomings

He is young

He has good strength

He does not have a proper

certificate of education

He is dragged into poverty

He is ashamed

He does not have pride

He is covered by poverty

He struggles all day

Despite poverty

He only buys a few things to eat and drink

In the evening

He bought only a day's medicine

He bought for his mother

He has many more things

He has a daily wage..

He grabbed the moneylender
