Choi the Singer From Seoul

I listened to Choi’s story and I wondered What kind of people allow a five-year-old to live on the street by himself, sleeping in bathrooms? Were these people too preoccupied to care? His humble unassuming, shy ways Were in contrast to every neglected five-year-old I have met. They are usually all folded up with cross arms Glaring, refusing to do anything an adult asks. Seoul born Choi looked surprised at the audience’s reaction. I do not believe he has encountered much approval or admiration In his life, which started out early on in an orphanage Where people beat him. When he opened up and sang, I felt I was listening to an angel. Possibly this is why he was allowed to live on the street at five. Perhaps people sensed he was other-worldly, untouchable. His singing is too.
