The Slum Dog Poem by Sai Chandra Priyanka kona

The Slum Dog

Rating: 5.0


I being the slum dog,
Couldn’t make my living any better.
I bear the sun, the rain and the fog,
How hard those days never matter.
I have got only one thing to do,
That’s how to fill up my tummy.
I know how hard it is to do,
And that I don’t bother even it’s not yummy.
I go round the streets and traffic begging,
It’s just to make up a penny.
I know the days of my starving,
That’s not one or two but many.
I don’t have a proper cloth to cover me,
Even though I am not shy for I need not to be.
I won’t cry for how the other day might be,
For there are many lives out there just like me.

The topic chosen is of when the austerity of people in general was not good. Below Poverty line are still but are those who either do not want to work or are of habit of begging and do not want to quit begging. Still sympathetic is your poem on the circumstances explained.

A really expressive poetry. Keep it up and show the path to your fellow beings. Infuse new vigour and courage in them. You are the maker of your own destiny. Since you are educated, you can take the lead. With the best wishes, Your friend on PH, CP
