PRECIOUS CHILD
I AM A CHILD OF NO ONE……. WHO CARE’S FOR ME? NOBODY CARES…… I AM ALONE TO WITHSTAND THE TEST OF TIME AND MISERY THAT ENGULFED MY WHOLE BEING. HAVE MERCY ON ME! FOR I …. TOO …..AM ONE OF GOD’S CREATION.
HAVE YOU TRIED WANDERING AT NIGHT, LOOKING FOR SHELTER… SHIVERING IN COLD AND HUNGER? YES … I WAS ONCE A VICTIM OF A RUTHLESS SOCIETY, BUT WHAT CAN I DO? I ….. CAN NOT GO AGAINST THE CURRENT OF THE SO CALLED…. FATE…… OR …….. DESTINY?
I AM ONLY A CHILD WHO WANTED TO SURVIVE AND FEEL THE ESSENCE OF LIFE ITSELF……BECAUSE MY PARENTS WERE DEAD, WHEN I WAS FOUR… AND THAT WAS A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO……AND FOR REASON OF DEATH…… I …. DO NOT KNOW.
I GO FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER…ASKING FOR HELP….FOR FOOD AND CLOTHING…..BUT DO YOU BELIEVE, …..THEY GAVE ME MERCY….. JUST BECAUSE… I AM A CHILD…… A BEGGAR? I HOLD ON TO MY BELIEF THAT SOME PEOPLE ARE MERCIFUL, BUT MOST ARE ARROGANT…. THAT THEY EVEN SHOUTED AT ME…… YOU…… SMELLY…. UGLY BEGGAR….. GET OUT OF MY WAY!
I AM YOUNG AND SUPPOSED NOT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IT MEANS….BUT… I… CAN FEEL THE INWARD PAIN THAT HIT MY VERY SOUL……, BECAUSE I’M NOBODY’S CHILD…..NO ONE TO TURN TO? IF FATHER AND MOTHER WERE ONLY ALIVE….TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF ME, I SHOULD NOT HAVE SUFFERED SUCH HUMILIATION.
DO YOU THINK I LIKE TO BEG?....... DO YOU THINK I CAN EASE THE PAIN OF HUNGER BY JUST CLOSING MY EYES AND FALL ASLEEP? NO I CAN’T……BUT SOMETIMES I HAVE TO!.......EVERY NOW AND THEN I HAVE TO RUN FOR MY LIFE ON THE STREETS….SCARY…… BUT I HAVE TO FACE THE REALITY …..THAT I AM ALONE TO COMBAT LIFE’S OBSTACLES.
I HAVE TO BEG!..... AND TO GET SOME FOOD IN THE THRASH TO SATISFY MY THIRST AND HUNGER FOR ME TO LIVE. DID ANYONE OF YOU IN THIS ASSEMBLY, UNDERSTAND MY FEELINGS. A SCAVENGER .. LIKE A DOG! I CAN FEEL THE DOWNWARD PAIN AND SORROWS THAT MY HEART HAVE SUFFERRED.
HOW MAY TIMES I TRIED TO THROW AWAY THE LIFE……..HE GAVE ONLY TO TROD BACK ON WHAT I BELIEVE …THAT LIFE IS SO PRECIOUS….GOD GAVE ME THIS LIFE…..AND I HAVE TO VALUE THIS LIFE WHATEVER IT TAKES.
LIFE ISN’T EASY WITH NO ONE TO HOLD ON…… SOMETIMES I ASKED GOD….. WHY DO YOU HAVE TO FORSAKE ME? ….. WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME?........ I THINK………GOD ANSWERED…... MY PRECIOUS…… PRECIOUS CHILD…… I LOVE YOU AND I NEVER LEAVE…… I AM ALWAYS WITH YOU IN TIMES OF SUFFERRINGS…..THAT’S WHY….. YOU…. SURVIVE…..
