Still You Say Child Labour' Is Wrong
'Child Labour' a word..
For your failure children pay,
No work, no food;
in the name of economic growth,
give Poverty and sufferings;
Still you say 'child labour' wrong;
Has no sense,
And still you say it as crime;
Wrong for you,
life for us, food for us,
And family waits pay we get,
don't you know?
What makes us work;
Still you say child labour' is wrong;
We are poor,
can't live if no work;
You aren't abashed,
holding us wrong;
clean yourself,
Before cleaning us;
child labour as wrong,
all you know;
Reason behind too,
you should know;
We too wish go to school;
We too wish live like you;
You live your life,
But we kill our life;
Yes child labour is wrong,
But no choice left for us;
