Poem on child labor

They asked me

 Who's the most unluckiest child

In the world amongst

The children so mild

You'll think it is me

When I tell you my story

As sad as it could be

You'll never wish to be like me

I was born to be alone

And I haven't seen my parent's face

Sad, dull and grey

Were all my days

I started to work

At an early age

They made me feel like 

My life was in a cage

They made me break stones

And wash their dirty dishes,

Demolished and crumbled

Were all my lovely wishes

They never gave me

Proper food to eat

All they did to me

Is to torture and beat

When I see other children

So bright and happy

Lovely and sweet

Will their days be

They learn and they play

All the day

Showered in love

Are they every day

To God, I always ask

Why couldn't I be like them

But I got no answers

I wish I could be like them.
