Legal versus Illegal

A number of Shops destroyed,

Hundreds of People left unemployed,

Thousands of Families impacted.

 

During all these years, were all these shops and extensions really illegal?

If yes, then was accepting bribes and filling to your hearts content with freebies legal?

Administration’s actions how much ever justifiable are certainly laughable.

 

Its so sad and depressing to see these ruins almost everywhere,

Moreover as we citizens patronized these shops and paid them their fair fare,

We did not even know that something about these shops was illegal (isn’t that the administration’s job?),

What we did know was that they worked hard to support their family, which is definitely legal.
