That little stranger!

Image Courtesy : gdeichmann.photoshelter.com

Lost in his own world,
Wandering on the streets of the city…
This little boy has one intention,
He wants some money earned out of pity…

He’ll not say even a word,
He’ll talk through his eyes…
Eyes which have the depth of desperation,
Equal to the depth of skies…

He doesn't have any friends,
Nor he has any toys to play with…
He works even in the scorching heat,
He can never afford to relax and sit…

He gets up in the morning,
Somewhere, a kid his age is getting ready for school,
He has no idea what a school is,
He’s told that it’s an institution of fools…

A dark future waits for him,
And he’s completely unaware…
He’ll probably live like this forever,
But he has no one to care…

Cheating your conscience,
You tell yourself, there’s nothing you can do…
Look in the mirror and ask yourself,
Is that really true?

Snap out of your selfish life,
He’s your responsibility too...
You can bring a little change,
Only if you decide to do!
