Child of Leprosy
boils among rags,
black as death are the tattered rags.
Flesh white and lifeless as a dead man dut yet you walk old an frail,
but so young you are .
Oh child
Oh poor feard child
starveing , decaying ,and soon dead
We must avoid you .
For fear of spread .
We close are doors and Flee our streets and ,
weep for you and yours .
