NEVER SEEN

Never seen the golden sun shine like this
Nvere seen the moon as bright as this
Never seen a star shot like this
Never seen a refreshing waterfalls like this...

Never seen a flower bloom like this
Never seen a cheerful girl like her
Never seen a person sad like him
Never seen a lady cry like her.

*****************************************

I am a good boxer.
I wonder how to drive a car.
I hear when someone is getting hurt
I see very good
I want to know how it is to have a brother
I am Elvin.

I pretend to be in the nfl I feel very bad when.
I feel very bad when I fail in my work.
I touch my family to make them feel better.
I worry about my family.
I cry when my sister got a whipping.
I am Elvin.


I understand what my sister is going through
I say not in se but I am in it.
I dream about having a car.
I try to get out of se.
I hope I don’t go back in se any more.
I am Elvin.

Young man
Active and good
Playful and cleaning and talking
Dream to be a football player and a boxer
Elvin.

E enjoy playing with friends
L love my family
V very helpful

N nice to my family and friends.

********************************

I know how you feel
When they talk about you when you ask for money
Because sometimes I don’t have money too.


I know how you feel
And it makes me feel sad
Because sometimes I have nothing too.

I know how you feel
When I walk past you and smell your stench
Because sometimes I stink too.

I know how you feel
When I see you cold and shaking during winter
Because I could be freezing during winter too.

I CRY FOR LITTLE BOY

I cry for little boy who got hit by the car.
I cry for little boy who died in his mother’s arms.
I cry for little boy who lost his way home.
I cry for little boy who was taken from his family.

I cry for the little boy who did not know how to talk
I cry for the little boy who did not know how to write his name
I cry for the little boy who has no arm
I cry for the little boy who had no food or no way to sleep.

I cry for the little boy who was left on the street
I cry for the little boy whose mother was on drugs
I cry for the little boy who died from overdose
I cry for the little boy who died from AIDS.

I cry for the little boy who’s scared of the dark
I cry for the little boy who had no education
I cry for the little boy who could not do things that other kids could
I cry for the little boy who everyone left alone.
