Survival.
#WritcoPoemPrompt9
A stolen morsel more precious than gold,
A stolen shirt to keep out the cold,
There is no price to hunger,
There is no price to shelter,
There is no price to kindness,
If there is a price to kindness,
How can it be afford?
If there is a price to shelter,
How can it be afford?
If there is a price to hunger,
How can it be afford?
When a stolen morsel is like a gold,
When a stolen shirt is used for shelter,
The brain is so smart to illegal act,
Body is ready for any risky act,
Sneaking into every house like a cunning cat,
Escaping every mission like a rat,
Putting on different mask,
Loyal at home and risking tasks outside,
What could have be a source of survival?
Not taking risk is imagined,
But death is it reality,
No risk, weaknessess arise,
Different risk, strength of survival,
Oh! Poor man, may you survive,
What a cruel world!
