A Girl Without Home Poem by Fadhy Mtanga

Her both parents are alive,
But the marriage had splitted,
So they got a divorce,
Everyone on his and her owns.

Her father got married again,
But the new mother rejects her,
So the father doesn’t care about her,
She has to make her owns.

Her mother married to another man,
But the man got a big family,
So he doesn’t need any more child,
The girl is left suffering.

Her uncle promised her education,
But he attempted to rape her one night,
So she had to run away,
Going to the world of her own.

Her aunt took her to Dar es Salaam,
But she wanted her to be a sex worker,
So she had to think twice,
Because the burden on her was too heavy.
