On a wild and big city
A girl was left with nothing but pain and agony
Tossing and turning under a dirty blanket
While they wear silk and shining stones
She climbed barricades, crossed long streets,
Stumbled with small rocks
And was filled by group of wild and hungry dogs
She risk her life to find leftovers
But look at them who are spoiling something they had loot
Looking at her with disgust and repulsion
Stripping her from head to toe
Leaving her broken and hopeless
She struggled to raise up
Held firmly at a piece of sack
Picked her broken self from the ground
She look at them from their eyes
Reveal their dark masks
And stripped their skin and bones
The girl looked at her mother
Smiled with grace and honor.
