I always hungry
but nobody want to feed me
I don’t know why
They just ignore me.
The doctor say I dirty
The teacher don’t want to teach me
They say I stupid.
I try hard but nobody,
Nobody at all want to bother with me.
I can’t get no job
This make my life hard
It’s real hard all the time.
But it’s a surprise
They letting me vote
You know, I thinking
Thinking it’s the law of the mother
Mother country, that is,
That let me vote.
They call it suffrage
I have suffrage.
But the elected ones
don’t realize that I
Suffering.
