JUSTICE BEFORE CHARITY



By Alex Hash

FACT: 32% of Pakistanis live below poverty line

People of Pakistan

Pointing eyes
Dreaming to sorrow
In a burning harrow

Bleeding to comfort
Holding to lips
Drinking the marrow

Wanting to plea
Cut into snippets
Breathing too shallow

What is needed is not charity, but justice — the conforming of human institutions to the eternal laws of right – Henry George May 8, 1887

Justice before Roti, Kapra, Makaan – Imran Khan subverting Bhutto's slogan
