  The poet expresses the feeling through the poem by saying the humility and loyalty of individuals are not being respected in the society. The poor has no/less privilege to what the rich people have. Only power and connection can make people successful in the world today, money open all doors to success in the world Today,
  But what will the poor that have no money do? more »

  The poem establishes the fact that the weak and helpless are nothing without connection. Even hard work by them is nothing compared to those who have power but do nothing. This is what the world has been led to. more »

The poem talks about the challenges the less privilege people face int the world and how merit never counts, hardwork is never a reward for good labour.
