Humiliation check

You are nothing except a beggar, Emir of Kuwait said to me
A knock at my door I heard. I went outside my ghostly room I noticed two women wearing headscarves, one of them was holding a file close to her chest. Before I said anything , one of them said ; "We are from Shooaown" ,(the ministry  of social and labor). "Yes, What can I do for you". I replied .  “we were checking on you”, another one said. “I am still alive” I responded. They left after I made them to laugh. From top of the world, now I am a beggar. I am receiving a monthly  check for few hundred KD from government of Kuwait , barely I can live with. A money that I used to burn a day, now I had to wait for 30 days to receive it with humiliation.  Even the Bengalis who work in the Ministry of Social Affairs know me, how about high officials in the ministry of social affairs . All of them know me very well whether I am alive or dead, they send their employees to me to tell me you are nothing except a beggar.
