Am I a Child of God ?
They play all day ,
While I toil away
to have a square meal
at the end of every cursed day .
They go to schools
I go to a place where there is no rule.
They have friends in the school
I have a just master who scolds and rules !
They got toys , I got tools
They choose when to play ,
I have to play with tools all the day .
They eat ice-cream
But I cant even eat in dream
as I don't know how it tastes
when we put ice in cream .
They have their mothers waiting
when they return
But I see emptiness sitting
dressed in black and white like the Z for zebra
which I heard them memorizing
I don't know why people call it footpath
and use my home for walking .
People say that my mother and father now is God
because my human parents left earlier
I don't understand if my parent is God ,
Why I am so sad ?
Kids whose parents are humans are happier ...
