The Missing Child's Life
The Missing life
Oh! Child, my friend
Wake your self up!
Sitting on the floor with a lot of work to do,
No school, no books!
The future man with no looks.
No body cares!!
Someone says “garibo ko
hatoa” “garibo ko hatoa”
I say “move, move!! Get ready,
Time’s late for school”
For a daily loaf of bread,
A deed for my life.
Working from dawn to dusk.
Selling newspaper on the road side,
Baking samosas for the next trip
But no one cares…
The children needs you,
Wake up, wake up,
Need to go to school,
Stop them work,
Help them play and learn….
