I Will Pray

your beauty bleeds in the daylight
                            years of hard work, paid for your plight
                           you were the sweetest symphony
                             now a young heart's agony
                                youth and charm drifting away
                           callousness of time ruins your day
                              burdened with bricks you walk all the way
                            looking at you I have nothing to say
                             pretty Indian Woman, I will pray! I will pray




dedicated to the Indian lady working under a contruction site....

Such a shame that too many Indian women aren't treated as well as they deserve!
