They wave, smile, laugh and are happy
They are children, innocent and subjugated
They are suffering, yet smiling
They are used in farms and paid less
Exploited and abused with no help in sight
No one to turn to because of their vulnerabilities. Suffering yet smiling
Behind the smile is a sense of loss
Loss of childhood to hard labour
Loss of childhood to child labour
Suffering yet smiling
Behind the smile is a sense of desperation
Behind the smile is a sense of frustration
Behind the smile is a feeling of vulnerability
Suffering yet smiling
They are children, hopeless and helpless
The are the abused leaders of tomorrow
Even in their predicament, they smile
They are children, suffering yet smiling
