Little Girl from the Slums
Little girl from the slums
With your shiny eyes
And brave smile
Carrying water on your head
You are not in need
Of false sympathies, are you?
Self gratifying words of pity
All you are asking for
Is not to be stripped from your dreams
A single fighting chance
One pencil, one book, one school
To color your future
As you see fit
