My Story of Survival ( A Delinquent Child's Poets)

Born in one of South East Asia's countries -- Philippines. It's a beautiful country because of its amazing landscapes, unique beaches, tourist destinations, cultures and a lot more!

Behind these nameless amazing facts about the Philippines lies a sad truth about its economy which affects millions of lives and thousands of homeless people, the reason why juvenile delinquency was rampant. Of course, it's the parent's responsibility and to be blamed, but the reason why most parents lost control is the struggle they were in by itself- poverty.

I am and I was a hardworking employee of at least 5 companies. Education has been really hard also. I've got full scholarship somehow, but the hunger and stress as a working student have pulled me off from finishing my college. So I got a job now. But because I got no degree, I can only earn a minimum salary. What happened to me happens to the majority. A corrupt company who stole our time effort, our overtime has been just "Thank you" and we get the least of the rest of our salary.
I remember how easy it was for us before to have money when I was 10 years old. Me and my 3 siblings with 1-year-old brother. Money and food were easy because I have my three little sisters with me. Together we steal money and rob people without being caught, yet we're happy. Well, that's better than receiving a salary that can never pay your hard work. The reason why it's what it is? Corruptions in the government.

These poems I wrote 10 years ago during that time I was dreaming to be an author. May it inspires the readers. I hope you'd leave some comments about it too. Thank you so much for picking this book.
