Life is so unbearable for rootless tree
Feeding and habiliment are thorny
Was life created abnormally?
Why am I created into this fallen earth?
My early life was cherubic and propitious
I lived in purple and enjoyed the best
My parents were loving and caring
They made life casual for me.
I grew strong and vast in knowledge
My parents riches increases everyday
Though, I was the only child ; they mollycoddled me
Yet, I was trained in the godly path.
A night wrote sadness in my dairy
Turning my story around like a chariot
I thought the night was a dream not until I saw them entering their last home.
Oceans of tears gushed for days.
My relative came to took the fleshy part of my father's sweat.
Leaving the bone for the dog
Some even took from the bone meant for dog
And sent the dog out of the fold.
I became a poor homeless dog
Roaming in the villainous streets
I have no roof to cover my head
It seems the hell has come before the end.
Few days later, I have become a gleaner gleaning around bins
I was clothed with filthy rag
even my relatives despise me
They made me a street dog.
I had nowhere to lay my head
Every nook and cranny are meant for me
I had used python as my pillow;
perhaps the heavenly body saved me.
I become almajiri on the street
begging for a drop of coin
even my sweat are shared with street wolf
unless I don't want to live on earth.
Life was hard for me
Yet I never think of suicide
I strongly hold on my father's words
"life is a wheel, hope will help you"
My heart cling to those words
And I hope for a better life to come.
