WE HAIL THEE


We hail thee(by Irusota) To the children of the Streets Who sleep under the bridges Come sun and come rain Anytime and everyday We hail thee! To the once we call posterity Who's future is shrouded in uncertainty by the so called political elites The inhumane inhumanity We hail thee! To the little peasants Who roam the streets daily in search of food and alms With nothing in their Palms We hail thee! To the voiceless in the society Who live in abject poverty We hail thee! To the underprivileged who we call the less privileged Who go to bed on empty stomachs With nothing to eat Lying on empty bellies And struggling to Live We hail thee! To the people Whose voices have been silenced by poverty and penury Who live in pain and misery We hail thee! To our friends who are homeless but are not hopeless We hail thee! ©IrusotaSAN(written in commemoration of the downtrodden and underprivileged members of the Society) Dated the 21st Day of December 2017.
