A day in the hood (poetry)

Came across something I wrote a while back...

Story of an oppressed kid

(just a brainstorm, nothing impressive)

As i walked down the street,
feeling soo lonely inside,
i saw some kids,
playing on the sidelines,
i took a look at one of them,
my eyes crushed into the tears,
the kid that caught my eyes,
came upto to me & asked,
in a whispered voice:
'sir, why do u shed those tears?'
i was speechless,out of words,
My eyes gazing at his ripped appearl,
& those uncured wounds,
imgining the fear he has inside,
& the pain he goes thru day n night,
he looked back and smiled,
saying: 'sir dont cry, this is my life'
'not all r lucky to live your luxuriours life'
& at that moment i realised,
God's grace & mercy upon me,
I dropped on my knees, facing the sky,
Asking God to forgive all my selfish times,
the kid spoke in a deep whisper,
'he forgives those who believe in him',
I smiled, hugged the kid & replied,
thank you brother for guiding me,
I wud've been lost, on these lonely ways.
The kid smiled back & said,
'Thank him who sent me here,
He gives us the bed n bread.'
