Pakistany Father Poem by Aldo Kraas
Pakistany Father
Pakistany father
The slum world Is all you know
Because you live in the slum of Pakistan
And you worry everyday if you are going to have enough food for your Children so that they don't starve
Pakistany father
You are the Garbage men of Pakistan
But even being the garbage men of Pakistan you don't earn much money To feed your children
And that alone is a disgrace
But a job is a job
And any job is better than having no job at all
Pakistany father
You dream every night about being rich
And you buy some lotery tickets everyday hopping that someday you will win the lotery and get out of the slum world that you know
