“They left me straying on the streets”

• I was only three
A flower yet budded from a tree
I knew not of the world
So lonely, frosty and cold
I knew it to be full of joys
To live in a house full of toys

• I knew not to be alone
From night to early dawn
I knew not that I will stray
Live in sorrow and dismay
I knew, I will have a mommy and a daddy
Both loving and caring me badly

• I opened mine eyes and found
The roaring engine sound
Sleeping by the garbage can
There speeded a red van
I found the little stink
In sobs I started to sink

• Starving, without water without food
I searched and twirled around the hood
I rummaged around the litter
Even a lemon that was so bitter
Would be good for me to survive
Hoping to welcome tomorrow alive

• A like dried leaf blowing in sway
The sidewalk became a bed on which I lay
Every night and count the days
The sun burning in blaze
The simmering sun rays
I search for survival ways

• Ahead lies a school
Where children run and fool
And there comes a daddy
Holding his daughter badly
Singing along a happy song
And I to the sidewalk belong

• Another mother comes along
Explaining her child what is right and wrong
And I got no one to talk
I wander lonely on the sidewalk
I sit and question, in sobs plunder
Into bits I torn asunder

• Nights are so cold
My childhood is getting old
I try to surpass the day
To enjoy sunlight the coming day
When I ask for money
They say; go and seek your mommy
But I can’t beg for cash
For I am so bash

• Abandoned left homeless on the streets
While other children enjoy sweets
I twirl around the trash
I wound my body and gash
I sleep under the tin roof
That’s not even waterproof

• Children with their scent to fair
While I weep in despair
Covered in oil mud and tart
Pulling behind me a cart
Looking to carry some junk,
For a hunk of bread; before I plunk
