Mind of An Hungry Beggar Child

We're hungry 
But we lacking 

We can't even dare ask 
Cos for us all, eating food is really an heinous task 

Their moving out in their cars 
While we, in here we are, hiding in our infectious scars 

I wanna go out of here to there 
But what about these ones I've got as friends 

It's really irking 
But can I be in such a hurry? 

If I have the brain to leave! 
How will my younger ones live? 

If I have the power to go and beg! 
What about those in here, living without legs? 

But then, we're hungry 
And we've got no one sending us daily meals 

Seems I just have to make a run for it 
And beg a few things for human being to eat 

We all don't have a choice but to live our time this way 
For we are children of those who didn't make good use of their young days.
