My Little Princess

This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is little-girl-laborer.jpg

Give me a hint, my princess

Don’t you have a dream?

Or just toil in hot sun

by the side of the road,

built for swanky cars to

speed by to distant hills.

I see a smile on your face,

perspiration trickling by.

Your hands slip a bit and

your mother smiles too

“that’s how you will learn,

making, correcting mistakes;

All your life, will go by;

Soon you will grow up

And work like me in

Hot sun, dumping sand

with your pretty hands  

roughen like mine and

Your princess will be

helping you; you will be

reborn, again and again,

Endless cycle of births”
