THE CRY OF AN ORPHAN

THE CRY OF AN ORPHAN

 

Who shall console the wailing orphan?

Howling like an aged van.

The pauper boy is lost

And his hope is burst.

 

Despite the pitiable background,

A property that doesn’t worth a pound,

Yet, his father was murdered.

And likewise his mother.

 

Where shall he turn to?

Everywhere looks like ghetto

His life is at stake

His family members are snake

 

How shall he survive this terrible life?

Stabbing him without a knife.

How shall he conquer the evildoer?

Blocking his zoar…
