Child Labour

Those who should study and play,

Those who should live a carefree life ,

Those very children toil everyday,

Throughout their life , for money they strive.

Every day they get ready,

For a day of hard work.

When all they want is to play and study,

They wake up to the real world with a jerk.

They wait for you to approach them,

And say, "Let's go to school today! "

They may be speechless with joy, but then,

Their eyes would give them away.

They work all day long,

Wistfully wondering,

What have they done wrong,

To attain this life of suffering?
