A Child So Poor Poem by Slim Jay

My shoes are tiny
And my feet is sore
I feel so hungry
As i wrestle on the floor

I close my eyes and tell myself
When the day is over all will be gone
Night comes and comforts me
For only in my dreams
Can i have my share of meat

I'm a child so poor
Breathing yet without a life
Hunger is my friend
And poverty is my companion for life

When you see me walk on the streets
You look down upon me
And when you see me sitting alone
You walk past, without noticing me

If you can't give me bread
To help me stay fit and alive
What about a gentle smile
To soothe the pain in my heart?
