by Maviyo Nkosi
There I was on the streets
On a very hot day
Tears pouring down
Like a summer's rain
Barefoot, walking on stones
As sharp as a razor
As a painful womb
From a dog's bite
Hairs as rough as stones
Dirty as a city's heap
Stomach as small as one
Of a person who just puked
Torn clothes with rags
On a shrieked thigh
Foot with blisters and crackers
Life with no happiness only pain
On a very hot day
Tears pouring down
Like a summer's rain
Barefoot, walking on stones
As sharp as a razor
As a painful womb
From a dog's bite
Hairs as rough as stones
Dirty as a city's heap
Stomach as small as one
Of a person who just puked
Torn clothes with rags
On a shrieked thigh
Foot with blisters and crackers
Life with no happiness only pain
