Welcome

Child in the sewer
by Reverend Petru Dugulescu

The child in the sewer is an intruder
Who was born without asking for his rights.
A soulless mother brought him,
But didn’t gave him a heart or chest.

Then she left him in a hospital
Only one day after he was broken from her
And she got carried away by the wave
While he grew older, thrown away from place to place.

We fed him with the bread of sorrow
In houses of sad residence
They washed him with the hose
And disciplined him without clemency.

Attracted by the freedom's longing since a boy
When he drew ships on paper
He started to build a future:
An old child without a childhood!

I see him through night like a bird
Always with its killing bag,
Satiated with hunger, trembling of cold,
Carrying his poverty in a bag.
