May 2015
he was born in the city
he had no home
he no place to turn to
he was on his own
he had no mamma
he had no father
he had no friends
nobody to call on

what was I to do

Can you picture this sad true story
a young child of 13
one without hope
no home sweet home
no happy memories
with only God to wish to
living on the streets

struggling to eat
struggling to sleep
trying to be a man
but still a trembling child inside

and all alone
I found this child name Derrick in the streets of my hometown. It was so sad no one would reach out to him, but I did, it hurt me so bad the way people treat this child. I manage to feed him and get him to a children's shelter. I hug him and said i will help and that I loved him and all he could do is cry and have a small sign of hope. Society is ******* to let this happen.
