Dejected and rejected, they are Innocent and ignorant, they are crushed Softly weeping, quietly groaning They are used and abused, Intelligent and humble, the future leaders Hardworking and diligent, our pride Yet they are trampled on By vicious beasts who are satisfied With their wailing and longings.

So that our future will be secure, And we may have literate leaders, tomorrow. « return. |
