POVERTY

Life!
So what is life!?? I bet you too can't answer me😂
Anyway let's put that aside... Speaking of livelihood
How do people live.. life is not the same for everyone out here or is it?

All day, all day, in the dust trying to find what to eat
For me to satisfy my daily needs
Walking long distances, being sunstroke
But still i don't give up regardless of the suffering

All day, All night wondering to and from in the streets
With my old torn dress, with an empty stomach, with no shoes
Shivering due to cold, being blown by wind having nowhere to go
Having questions in mind Am I not anyone's Child ??

I stretch out my hands to the rich, in vain
Hoping to get a helping hand from them, but they turn me down
Alone in the pitiless streets.. I lack a shoulder to lean on. Although I still never give up because I still manage to keep a smile on my face
