As the world gets older and civilization becomes advanced, it is expected that the gap between the rich and the poor is bridged, and fundamental and basic social amenities are accessible to all. However, this is not the case, as there's a wide margin between the rich and the poor. Could it be the government isn't doing enough for the masses? Or could it be that we as individuals are not doing enough for ourselves? 
 
In The Emmanuel 9 by Richard Shine is an empathetic look into this global issue. It is surprising and disappointing that even the best countries of the world still have a good percentage of their population who are homeless, sick, and marginalized. What are Richard's thoughts on this? According to Shine, his book is a “design to help the homeless because it’s tough I was once the same…so I jotted down my lessons…if it doesn’t help, it sure can’t hurt you.” This poetic writeup consists of 305 poems addressing the issues of social imbalance and marginalization. It is meant to bring succor to the disadvantaged on the streets and people who are struggling to make ends meet. 
 
Reading this book, it is evident that the author has had a first-hand experience with marginalization and so decided to put forward this write-up. Through this series of heartfelt poems, he exposes what life is like on the other side of the social divide. With titles such as Street of Dreams, These Few Lines, A Brighter Day, Agape Love, Don't Be Afraid, To the Slaves, etc., readers would feel the empathy in his tone. In my opinion, I believe we can do more as humans to help others in need, especially the homeless. Most people think that the poor don't work hard enough, and this reminds me of the saying, “Walk a mile in my shoes, see what I see, hear what I hear, feel what I feel, then maybe you'll understand why I do what I do; 'til then, don't judge me.” I'm really glad I came across this wonderful book. 
 
I rate The Emmanuel 9 by Richard Shine five out of five stars because it is spot on. I have no dislikes whatsoever about this book. I found no errors in the book, indicating it was exceptionally well edited. I recommend this book to lovers of good books, especially heartfelt poems.

After reading your review, I'll definitely put the blame on the government. People are going through a lot and it's the duty of the government to bridge the gap in the social margin.
Thank you for a good review.

Yes. I totally agree with the saying in your review. Don't judge others until you see things from their perspective. This book is a collection of empathetic poems that depict the ongoings on the other side of the social divide.

I wish everyone would read a copy of this book. It's emotional, empathetic and depicts the difficulty experienced by underprivileged people.
What a pity.

I'm surprised this book is a poetry. Sounds more like an autobiography to me.
Anyways, it's an exposition into the crucial matter of social divide. Governmental and NGOs have a role to play in bringing social balance to the world.

The author's words depict a strong feeling of empathy and firsthand experience. It's really disappointing that the world hasn't achieved a balance in social wellbeing.
Something needs to be done.
