Waif

Dreaming about life in the city 
People in the village were so generocity 
How he wish to return to the village 
Where he will not live in the midst of foul language 
Back in there life was so sweet 
Now walking down the street 
With bare feet
Weather in the cold or heat 
Dying with hunger 
People were shouting at him with their anger
Every night
I turn left to right 
Nowhere to go 
Nothing to do
Order than to live at peoples' door
And sleeping on the floor
As no roof over his head
Which lead 
Him under the bridge
Near the edge 
Or in the vent
Because he can not effort to pay rent 
Oh! how he miss his mother, 
Father, sister and brother
Remember how they used to ushered him home 
When he come
How his little sister and brother welcome
Him home
Now living in ghotto 
His body full with tattoo 
Oh! how I try
Never to cry 
When I see him I felt so bad 
And really sad
