THE SCAVENGER'S LIFE

Once a boy named mack-
Always carried a rubbish filled sack,
Causing an extremely swollen back,
But still everyday ran on the same track,
In search of more and more garbage.
He is only of age ten-
But does not know how to hold a pen.
Always running about in the heat and rain-
With a feeling of pain,
In the process what are his gains??
With no idea about education.
The boy runs in search of money-
To feed his mother and brother Sunny.
For them he sacrifices his own childhood,
To fulfill the duties of brotherhood,
But still strugges to get food,
Thus it is a distressed livelihood.
The boy is filled with imagination,
And has a burning sensation,
To fulfill his daring ambition,
But the conditions are a big threat-
To do something great.
So he has to satisfy himself with the present,
Unable to make his life descent,
Surviving as a scavenger-
With the whole mean world as a stranger,
Thus with no future ahead-
The boy can be said to be alive but dead.
