The Orphan Boy
He was scared and terrified
Eyes full of tears
Being alone in the world
But no one ever cares
Reluctant to do house chores
Worse than a slave
At his cruel aunt's home
Like writhing in a grave
The boy was compelled to do
All the work throughout the day
Starving with hunger and thirst
Only got a loaf throughout the day
It dawned bright and sunny one day
Deep blue sky flecked with cloud
Stream gurgling down the hill
And sun rose with arrogance and proud
The boy was busy in grazing the cattle
Wandering far and wide
Surrounded with fragnant air
Slipping down the hill side
Suddenly the sun hid behind
The clouds growing darker
Little boy felt rain drops
Falling down quick and quicker
Gathered the sheeps, goats and cow
Guided them under the shadow
One of the goat was missing
Scowled his aunt to go
"Go and bring that poor goat
No dinner otherwise"
The boy climbed down in rain
Having no other choice
Searching the goat far and wide
But all in vain
In total darkness of night
The boy slipped in drain
"Help! Help! he yelled
But his voice's low than that of rain
Struggling in water for while
Drowned in the condition of fain.
