I Can Only Cry
I cry, and I can only cry
If I see
The children who are
Compelled to hard labour
For just a little money
To feed themself
And their parents
Instead of going for the study
For the bright future or
Play in any park
With other children
For the enjoyment
I cry on and think of
The cruelty,
The unjust,
The senseless of those people,
Who involve in such practices
I often ask myself
The leaders or the people
Whom to give blame for
The truth is that
Both are the responsible
For this criminal deeds
The burden is on the civilised world,
But the world keeps silent
And don't care about
I cry, and I can only cry
