Whithered Face of An Destitute

Whithered  Face Of An Destitute

His innocent and withered face
was a melancholic story of a destitute
who never relished his childhood
nor did he ever go to any institute

Calm and cool were his gestures
and face was dirty but very cute
curious were his broken black eyes
that looked very silent and mute

His father was drunken and died
exists no law for them to rectitute 
to feed bereaved and devoid family
destiny forced mother to be a prostitute

many laws were framed by human society
but no law for them we could constitute
to make this languid face smile again
society has sympathy only to contribute

dreams of this homeless face come true
some actions' society needs to execute
he doesn't demand any moon or star and
this noble cause can't have any dispute

Alas when such a sere face die of hunger
every society feels proud to pay tribute
then pray to god for his heavenly abode
and start murmuring who was this destitute
