I do not know




I respect not the cruel world!
Brickbats at me it ever hurled!!	
As a human, me it forgot!
The cruel world, I respect not!!

I do not know… how I survived!
Parental love I was deprived!!		
Many snubs I did undergo!
How I survived… I do not know!!

As a stray man, me people stamped!
My freedom wings, they ever clamped!!
Upon me they did place a ban!
Me people stamped… as a stray man!!
