Street Kid Poem by Iphupho The Dream

Street kid

Can you borrow me your
ear for a moment,
I want to tellyou the story
of my street life,
I have postponed dreams
and visions
and wishes never fulfilled.

My life is more different than
yours,
Mine is to get cash or go
steal to survive from malnutrition,
I don't have friends and family,
I am in this life Battle alone
without anyone to talk,
The life of the streets Is too dangerous because some people
do offer us toxic food
just to kill us,
Some people don't even
help us to get a shelter,
Things get rough when climate
start to change,
It's like we are trapped inside
water trying to breath,
How long will it take
a street kid to survive suffocation? .

I know when it becomes cold
you all put your Jersey,
What about me? ,
When it becomes noon y'all
prepare for breakfast,
But to me it's like a hunger
that breaks me so fast,
I am fighting with hunger
depression without given gloves
to fight like boxing ring.

My dreams have malnourished,
This is not hunger but starvation,
The potential is playing
mathematics language unto my
life,
Where hunger is equal to
malnutrition,
Where potential is divided by zero
which equals to no success,
Where my dreams seems to be
equivalent to my visions
and wishes.
