Like most of the people within his vicinity
whose condition and lifestyle resonated with his, they shared something in
common-the desire to escape. They knew they hadn’t the resources to enforce the
emancipation they had prayed for, the freedom they had longed for and the
audacity to walk away from lack. To breakout like the lightening of the thunder
from the sky into a place of micro comfort. They were not asking for much, all
they needed was just their daily bread, a scanty shelter from the cats and dogs
rainfall and an insufficient cloth for their nudity. Asking for more would be
likened to a lunatic asking for a hug from a stranger, who he had previously
given him a handshake. It will be considered as asking for a mile because you
got an inch. They just wanted a little out of what was rightfully theirs. They
knew they had the right to life, right to speech and right to basic amenities
but they also knew that they may never enjoy the full dividends of their human
rights in a society that paid lip service to her citizens. The content of the
United Nations Charter on Human Rights was completely immaterial in the lives
of these people because it was bound to remain a life time mirage that may
never come to fruition. Based on this, it was realistic for them to just desire
a little out of what was rightly theirs.
