AN ORPHAN
AN ORPHAN
you call me an orphan because i have no father and a mother
again u stress an orphan because am an island no sister nor brother
night,day,month,year they died one after another
am rejected because am a reject by one and the other
but why should i even get a well caring brother
in buses students call me street urchin because i have no father and a mother
am solitude and destitute in bins looking for food because i have no one to care
its no satire because of my attire made me fugitive
i straggle and strangle vigilant to get physically and even spiritually food
taking drugs in street and walking in rugs looking surveillance only to be ignored
but why should i even get a well caring mother
am chained in my solitary confinement being solitude and destitute
being the only island none to love,none to live with just because am an orphan
no one loves my bending posture,complexion,and even smile because am an orphan
we die because of the disease,accidents and even the overdose of drugs just because we are orphans
but why should i even get a well caring mother
looking surveillance no movement and expression because we are orphans
we are pushed violently "get away"they say as we fall just because we are orphans
we eat rotten food,bath in a sewer because we are orphans
people run away from us as if we have contagious disease because we are orphans
but why should i even get a well caring brother
i will rise and treat you with equality
you will all get good life of prosperity
my destitute and solitude you have made me strong i will give you first priority
you will never eat rotten food bath in a sewer you will get things of high quality
we will be loved and respected in the community
they will never push us violently but they will socialize
from east to west right to left side to side some will specialize
am saying this in pain and anger as i finalize
revive the dying wipe the crying a gain i will rise
all our haters and heinous they will applause.
PRINCE CAJI
