My tears in a public bus; Based on true feelings from my experience today in a bus


My heart bleeds a lot, or should I say the hustle is real for folks?

Pure water! Pure water!! Buy your pure water.
For toothache problem, buy this bottle of treatment, it cures all form of tooth problems.
Please help me, if God has put it in your heart to help, I am handicapped and I need to eat so as to survive!
Conductor my change na! This bus is too hot, where is the driver self.
Buy puff puff! Buy puff puff!! hot puff puff here.

I sat in a bus and studied this whole activities going on.

I was lost in thoughts and i asked myself "Is there really an average class in this country?" You are either rich or poor, no in between. It's been long i used a public bus, because I stay indoors always trying to get things done. Whenever i am on the road, i take cab/taxi, so i haven't hit the road in a public bus in a long, long, time.

I decided to inquire from the man sitting next to me. "sir, how many employees are being paid the minimum wage and is it enough to care for their needs?" This man gave me a straight answer with a question "How many of us are employed?" I was shocked but i understood. I have been living in this country all through my life and i know what unemployment is and the ratio of unemployed to employed graduates. I remember a friend of mine had to go for his masters because there was no job available for him.


I wept inside, There is a lot to be done in this beautiful country. Everywhere is a ghetto that needs a rebuilding. I know it will come soon.
