Startline Poem by Sentamu Aziz

Yes I was
Once despised
Like useless waste
Sailing down the drain

Once i was
Little so known
By none but God
For when i cried
Down i knelt


Time it was
When all that was
So bright a moon
A shadow i saw


Down i looked
All the way home
For a luck from loss
Kicking papers
All the way home

As the sun slept
So was the hope
For the day's meal
For all i wished
It would rise crumbs
To save the grumble
