The song of the night disturbs my sleep
deep in the night
like a lonely bird in the bush and she sings
'on several nights
I placed you right below my head
and cried out loud when dad and mum assumed me
while buried in their iPhone, Nonchalantly they say "Children its already bedtime "
bedtime yes,but no sleep comes our way
the morning song reminds us of yet another lonely day.'
Aunties and uncles
buy me sweets to be good to them
how I wish I can share with you
please open your mouth and taste my lollipop
last holiday they took me upcountry
there were no dolls and would cry
as I made some with muddy soil
but they would not last
here with you I am at last
