Not in vain
Everywhere I look, I see sadness in the community.
People are barely making it in life, while sharing the love of life.
Paying rent, while only eating pieces of bread, and a glass of kool-aid.
Go to school, the parents say, I will, the child obeys.
Everyday I learn something new, while sharing my thoughts with incredible minds.
Every day I study, so my parents’ effort won’t be in vain.
We still sit at the table where worries restrained.
But the smiles that my parents have, replaces every worry in the end.
