• I woke up to the sound of speeding cars -
    an ordinary day of my eternal wars.
    My younger brother playing with our baby sister,
    my father and mother in the midst of nowhere.

    I dig for food in a pile of trash
    as I see our hopeless future crash.
    I beg alms from strangers for survival,
    to avoid a curse that's eternal.

    I'm a boy who's deprived of my dream
    and whose soul has never learned to beam.
    Unfair and unfortunate events befall,
    and no one's there to hear my call.
