"Sound of Silence"

Photobucket

I'm having second thoughts whether or not i should post this one.
Apart from the wonderful sights there's to see,
a deeper social problem here needs to be resolved and that is
hoping to alleviate poverty.

Somehow Paul Simon's song reminded me of this "reality".
"People talking without speaking,
People hearing without listening,
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dare
Disturb the sound of silence."

  1. The glitters of big cities always attract those who are often ill-prepared to fight in it.

    But social problems in big cities may also be the result of mismanagement.

    This is a poignant photo.

  11. Big cities have many facets. Manila too. And, I guess, the Philippines is experiencing many problems as people move en masse from the countryside to the city. I hope people talk about these problems and alleviate them as much as they can.

    Good photo, by the way,

  15. I'm glad you posted it, J. It is a reality of Manila — and of the rest of the country, and of many other places in the world. We all need to be reminded every now and then that we all have to do something about our poor and our environment.
