A short poem on child labor.
I’m an eight year old boy.
Who is in this world only to cry!
I have to work for my food.
Even if I don’t have any mood.
I am treated with so much anger and rage,
and feel like a lonely bird in a cage.
All the other children go to schools,
but I stay alone and get to work with tools.
I wash the trucks and clean the cars,
I work so much, yet get beaten behind the bars.
Oh my God! This is not fair!
Why isn’t anyone there to care?
Even i wish to be treated well,
And really hope I could get out of this hell!
But I guess wishing for this, I am just wasting my time,
I know, I have to be punished, even though I have not done any crime!
Punished by being thrown behind the bars,
Even after cleaning so many cars.
