A Black Child

You told me
Starvation is the curse of life
You showed me
The fire in your chest
Your eyes were
Full of pain
Your lips were
Dry due to thirst
Thirst for happiness
Thirst for love
Thirst for care
I want you
To hold me tight
I want to take
All your pain
Your darkness is
Not in your heart
Oh! My Kid
My heart aches for you.
