I do come from a third world country. Hence why there is sometimes no escapee in working hard to feed your family. BUT that does not mean that it’s ok. My mother slaved her life to educate us, why? Because the system was broken. Because only the rich people controlled all resources. And corruption prevailed.

In my piece this is I refer to this below:

Working hard is code for, the system screwed me. It is code for injustice. The system that values wealth accumulation, income inequality and global warming. I have to work 5 jobs to pay my rent, when my rich neighbor is getting richer.
