Analysis of The Hungry, Hurt and Lost
So many children not at home,
Instead along the streets they roam
In search of happiness few find,
Yet better than what's left behind.
They are the hungry, hurt and lost
Too young to pay what life has cost.
A price no one should have to bear
When they need so much love and care!
But sadly, there are parents who
Neglect and even hurt them too,
Because as kids they had no one
To love a daughter or a son.
