McArthur Charles Mantein Poems

I represent the many kids who must hold their physically challenged parents hand and beg before they can eat; I represent the kids who sell cold water between cars just to fend for their family; I represent the girls who face discrimination only because of teenage pregnancy; I represent the boys who sit in the ghettoes to smoke their frustrations away; I represent the children who live with the pain of not knowing what it takes to have the love of both parents combined; I represent the orphans who needs parental love; I represent the children who have dropped out of school because there's no school fees; I represent the child that cries of hunger until sleep invades; I represent the children with the wildest dreams but lacks the ability to get up; I represent the people who sleeps in slums rather then homes; I represent the children who have made the sounds of mosquitoes their lullaby; I do represent the ones who are willing to help but can't feed themselves.

If you can put a dollar in you phone for browsing everyday, I represent the kids who parents makes less then one dollar a day; I represent that child who would love to eat that food that you are spoiling...
I represent the hope that one day their dreams would be archived;
