Take back the dignity that was stolen from you

Excluded child, your condition fills us with indignation
Your sufferings are our’s too
Destitute, with neither roof nor hope,
We care about your safety
Know that you are not alone,
Reach out for the helping hands
that draw you towards hope
Fight to take back the dignity
that has been stolen from you
Get up and come back to humanity  !!
