I was all right till the age of seventeen
Then unforeseen war blew up in our country
It was fatal since people were butchered
Maltitude of people fled and slipped away
From their birthplace in search of peace
I have no Idea where my precious family is
Unsure if they are lifeless or respiring
My mother I miss her company her kiss
And my siblings whom we gleefully lived together
Life is now completely frying me since the separation
I am homeless youth with no mission
who has been compelled to taste life
Throughout the debris that is in mess
I am defenceless against the utmost cold in the night
And searing heat of the sun
I have involuntarily fasted from food
And day by day becoming more emaciated
Sometimes I fall around when I try to walk
since my feeble legs are unfit to carry its light weight
Some think that I'm completely intoxicated
Others call me names and am the hated
Day-to-day they nervously pass near me
Attacking me with their stared eyes
They judge me by my muddled appearance,Yes!
Because my face creased and its hue expired
My clothes so stinky and tattered
Enough to scare the deceased
But don't they realize if I receive an aid
I will be dirt-free and unrivalled
My people I am not happy with my situation
Like you am a pure living being
who needs attention and to you pleading
Greet me when I stretch my hand to you
Regardless of my status and value
I am sure once I open my mouth and talk
Words will drub your heart and barely able to walk
