Words: guns, throb, still, songs, mob, spring, children, mean, seal, listen, fields, dream
Their fate is sealed–
the poverty-stricken,
mean, street children
whose hearts still
throb with yearning
to listen to songs,
and dream in a field
of spring flowers. Guns,
gangs and the Mob have
infiltrated their world
with promises of easy money.
Their fate is sealed.
