[hometext] => This poem is a moaning cry of a slum-dwelling child; represent million around the world in our “Rich”? neighborhood - look around you may find one standing next to you..
[bodytext] => While the time was to jump and play beneath the bright blue sky, I slogged like a mule for a piece of bread and a peaceful bed. While the time was to sit and study beneath a guiding light, I steadied my plight to fill my plate, danced all night to the tune of a brute’s flute, ’nd falsely soothed me for the shining bright daylight. Not a simple tender ten any more, spiteful society molested my infant modesty, glared the horrible mirror of pinching hunger, to expose the foundling me to infidelity. Lost my simple tender ten to the torment world, stood naked - without love, longing for thy grace to get back my bright blue sky.
