Children of the grave by Grant Harbison



Glugging
Mugging
Gluing
Spewing
Survival means all wrong doing
But what do you care?
It’d be easier for you if we weren’t there
We are the scourge
We are the infected
Streetwise kids
Ragged
Neglected
The sons and daughters who decided to roam
Each with reasons for leaving home
Years of abuse
Physical violence
Threats of death to keep our silence
Life on the streets may be mean
But what we’ve been through and what we have seen
Makes us cling to one another
Children lost
Sisters and brothers
