The Cry of An Orphan

Just because my mother died I have no one to care for me And just because my father died there is no one to look after me Just because my parents died everyone thinks am a burden Just because my mother died i had to become a street child And just because my father died i have to fetch my own food Just because my parents died i have to live a life of scorn at the streets Just because my mother died i cant find a wife myself And just my father died i cant become a father myself Just because my parents died i live a poor street life Just because my parents died which was not my choice nor theirs i lost my life and i lost my hope All these because my parents died.
