DEPRIVED NIGERIAN CHILD

Slowly he rolls the tyre,
to and fro,
with his pants on,
Laughing with his other 
counterparts,
His dirty pants,
Shown in the noon,
Like a rag,
He saw his mother,
And shouted,
Mother!
Where is my father?
Where did he go?
when will he come back?
When will i wear a shirt?
When will i sleep on a bed?
When will there be light?
Where will there be water 
from our taps?

    Enjoyed your wonderful yet sad write opeyemi, sadly there are too many children in this world asking the same questions, love and blessings Elizabeth
