The Shriveled Innocence

Tearful eyes and shattered dreams 

Garbage bins their disguised home

Hurt hands their source of living

Their voices silenced

By the noise of their misfortune

Education not in sight

Innocence lost to reality

Spring hiding behind

The infinite screams they swallow

Cause of the fear in their hearts

How long do we cuff them? 

To the ground

With burdens and responsibilities

How long do we pretend 

To not know the known truth

For how long do we become

The creators of

A caged childhood

With a lost key
