The Homeless Kids of Delhi
THE HOMELESS KIDS OF DELHI
Some only aged as young as three or four
Rejected by their parents, shown the door
As by themselves, travel hundreds of miles
To a life of misery as no longer have smiles
Some become lucky but; most of them not
As homeless children of Delhi; sadly forgot
Open to abuse from the others; far unkind
What goes on, would really blow your mind
Children maimed, put on the streets to beg
Blinded with a hot spoon; or breaking a leg
They just wanted a loving father or mother
No matter the poverty; to them, no bother
We see our own lives, we moan, and, groan
But; nothing is seen of others hell unknown
So . . .
So always start with others, before yourself
Before, you cry a river, to your own sad self
