Let the 'haves' help the 'have-nots'

Let the 'haves' help the 'have-nots'

From Suara Karya

The social gap is getting wider day by day -- the rich are
getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.

Beggars, vagrants and street children are a feature of life in
Jakarta and other cities, where the number of luxury cars is
increasing. Life's burdens at all levels are becoming heavier,
especially in the villages. People's average daily income can't
meet their needs due to soaring prices and the cost of living.

The government has taken some measures to overcome the crisis
that so far they have not shown any significant results. The
people's hopes for prosperity are still far from reality.

Considering the above, we need to promote social concern among
us. The haves must help the poor people. Meanwhile, the have-nots
should keep on trying to find ways to meet their daily needs.
They should not resort to crime that would only cause greater
suffering to other people.

Right now, so many people still live under difficult
conditions, so why don't we help one another?
