His view of humanity in this poem is, to say the least, bleak and desperate. Blake seeks to provide a portrait of Londoners, particularly members of the lower-class, struggling to survive in the Industrial Age.
The narrator is walking through the streets and regarding the faces of other passersby:
I wander thro' each charter'd street,
Near where the charter'd Thames does flow,
And mark in every face I meet
Marks of weakness, marks of woe.

In this poem Blake has pointed to the problems of child labourers working as hawkers and peddlers in London.
The poets see London through different perspectives, sum up and compare these differences.
One question which could arise while reading the poems could be representations is more realistic for the time.
