Just Think about it

I am writing about a song, and I shall try to do justice to it. A beautiful composition is often ruined by a narrow perspective.

Its Phil Collis and the song is "Another Day in Paradise". The visuals and the melody are simply breath-taking. The visuals portray the plight of the unfortunate in natural calamities, refugees, poor and homeless people. The lyrics compliment the visuals, and the message is out there for the individual to think. Here is the link of that song:

The message for this individual is that the Poor are there everywhere. Basic materials to survive are at a premium, even in rich countries. The factor of prospierity is only measured in Statistics, numbers and prominent economists. But, individual people demands will always state an unhappy state of mind. The danger of State power and ideology is that individuals are forced to be in that position and they remain there.

In the world of today, the poor will remain poor, because Capitalist economic policies are at such extreme levels of vagueness. No one knows what is prospierity and reality on the ground. This blurring is exactly what is intended by the power elite, both instituitional and governmental. To consolidate their power and decision making base, the poor are furthur squeezed into a tight corner.

I realize that I may have diverted away from the main meaning of the song. But, we have to think about the notion of the plight of millions, the lack of empathy among the rich, powerful and ordinary well to do individuals. The basic thought of Paradise itself is shrouded in Irony, because it is dependant upon the status of individuals within the social framework.
