Title: Nobody’s children
Post by: Bilyaminu on December 24, 2002, 09:49:09 PM
:'(Nobody’s children
Dozens of children curl up on the sidewalk
A small army of hungry, bleary-eyed kids in rags, dying for a fix
All between the ages of 1 to 17 likely AIDS orphans

:'(Nobody’s children
Cast out by parents no longer able to feed them
They survive on petty crime and odd jobs
You find them living like no human being should
