Writing With Weeping Words
Writing With Weeping Words
I pick up the pen
I begin to write
Why? is this pen wet
It's because I've been crying
My tears fell down my face
On to the pen and yet. . .
Also the paper got damp
Because I suddenly continued crying
And in all this
I'm writing with weeping words
NO family
No job, homeless
Yet still I try to obey the laws
But his world makes me crawl
I'm not amused at all
No shelter or home
So all alone
You look at me an stare
Do you want to come here
Hungry in despair
No one cares
Got this tattered note
Oh! did I ever mention
This is so up surd
I am writing with weeping words
Look at this two inch pencil
I just sit here and write bout my horrible life
While I'm eating this raw rice
