Abdul Malik Mandani Poet Free verse

Homeless

Give us food,
And give us hunger too
so we can eat,
We lost our appetite
we know not when.

We are alive
But we live not,
Give us a life to live,
We died
we know not when.

Give us nights to sleep
And dreams to dream,
Give us a place of our own,
We lost our homes
we know not when.

Give us a tomorrow
free of grief and sorrow,
Give us back our joys,
We forgot to laugh
we know not when.

Give us a hymn,
Give us a prayer,
Give us a place to worship,
We lost our God
We know not when!
