Stop Child Labour! - by Aida Remoroza Gozum

STOP CHILD LABOUR!
Aida Remoroza Gozum
(from Pinoy Poets Circle)

Why do parents allow their children to suffer?
Why should they be the ones to pay?
Why should they be forced to labor everyday”
From sunrise to sunset they are beat I must say.
They are exhausted doing this everyday!.
STOP CHILD LABOUR!

The bosses don’t know what goes inside them
For their ages their bosses are callous it seems.
more pain… more hunger...more exhaustion than them
they should be sued for the heartless scenario is grim.
They are exploited doing this everyday!.
STOP CHILD LABOUR!

Most of them become sick doing this everyday
Others have bruises that do not heal
Doing hard labor day by day
The bosses can not empathize what they feel.
They are sick doing this everyday!
STOP CHILD LABOUR!

The bosses don’t heed what they have to say.
They get richer with the sweat they shed.
No love...no compassion… no bed…
Our HELP they need and give them some dignity.
They are tired doing this everyday!
STOP CHILD LABOUR!

At night when they should be sleeping
Their sunken eyes keep on crying
Little by little their hearts are dying
They are hurt doing this everyday!
STOP CHILD LABOUR!

Let us be the voice of their shattered voices
Let us help to stop the tyrant bosses
Let us help them change their fate
No more the ones to bring a full plate.
STOP CHILD LABOUR!
