waifs and strays
are at their mercy
live in garbage, filth
to suffer agonies

a face marked by sorrow
pangs of hunger and coldness
scouring – seeking help
screaming out

we stand on the sidelines

the foraging
a ceaseless struggle
grinding poverty
a child is being abused

their fear - the soul is suffering
 their fear - and the path of sorrow
their fear

children die, are missed !
child trafficking prospers
down-and-dirty monger
hang them all !!

we stand on the sidelines

the foraging
a ceaseless struggle
grinding poverty
a child's prostituting

their fear – the soul is suffering
their fear – and the path of sorrow
their fear

grievance history
a vicious circle
detect the once responsible !
at vale of penury
