Possessive - Joy Sunny
THE STREET CHILD
THE STREET CHILD
Endangered member of our race
Appendage on the residual list
Conditioned by the adultcentric world
Such neglect of the little ones.
Future of the world!
Such cliched view taken for granted
With a paltry sum left for Education
How seemingly hyperbolic that child is to adults what ants are to human..
Faced with harsh and unfavorable experiences
Child in domestic slavery, A return of slavery,
Child solider, A continuous cycle of conflict and bloodshed,
Child in the street, A future of barbaric wandering of mankind,
That wandering hungry child,ready raw material for ritualism.
For every harsh experience
Erodes at least one bar of their innocence,
Echoes of their reaction spark off names
" The Youths are violent
' They are lawless"
A usual system of giving a dog a bad name in order to hang it.
You
