Woes of being an ordinary citizen

I am an ordinary citizen who has to toil 9 to 5 to support my family. Every morning, I start my struggle to survive in this city. My landlord loves to stop supplying water in the morning and we have no rights to say anything about this. The pressure of gas remains very low most of the time in our area. So we have to prepare our foods the previous night, otherwise we have to starve at the morning.

The road in front of our house is full of potholes. In the rainy season, it is waterlogged and muddy; in the winter, it's so dusty that one can hardly breathe. I have to overcome all these hurdles to get to the main road to catch a bus. Getting into a bus is like entering into another battle.

I am starting to wonder if anyone really cares.
