This is a photo of everyday life in the Philippines. A commonality in almost every street in the metro and suburbs - a homeless young boy, half naked and hopeless. Nothing left to wear, nothing left to eat. No home, no family. No hope - for now. If only we could do something. Something to change this cruel yet predictable world. One step at a time, one step at a time.

"Whenever you feel sad
Whenever you feel down and out
Lost love, falling grades, crappy friends or what
The thinking of ruining your life
Ending or asking for something new
Cursing how much you hate it
Think about this
Someone would rather live your life
Someone who needs help rather than being fed
Someone... Someone..
Try living your life through us,
Live your life through our daily eyes."

Manila, Philippines.

Daily Deviation

Given 2009-11-29
Suggester says, "We always want more and more, nowadays some of us live very comfortably but we still always ask for more... Now look at this photo and ask yourself... Do I really need all the things I have? This world is crying and screaming for help but we are always so busy! We need to stop and try to think a little more of others." For Now... by *jeyminems

Wow :wow:! At first before I read your comments I thought "this photo reminds me of the Philippines." Interestingly enough it is from the PI!

Man.. it reminded me when I was in Cebu and everywhere there are homeless people sleeping on the streets like this. The harshest one Ive encountered was when a pregnant young mother in their teens had 3 children around the ages 4-10 with an infant in her arms. All the children had their hand out begging for pesos. The young woman had her infant hold out their hand to beg as well. My thoughts were "I can see that you cant take care of any of your children and yet your having another one.. let me take that baby out of your hands." But I didn't. I was a student then. I gave them 5 pesos and they left. It is so very sad and it is a serious reality. Thank you for sharing. :)
