roams around the streets
moving up and down
begging for a single kwacha
to feed its empty stomach.
"Aunt help, Uncle help me
one kwacha only, I need food."
It goes from person to person
with the familiar tune on its lips
'to feed its empty stomach.
"Eish! Go away I have no money for you
come home with me if you can,
do not give it a kwacha it will get used to hand outs!"
to feed its empty stomach?
With no hope of a bright future
it goes under a bridge after sunset
with barely food in the stomach
