The Orphan
Do you remember the twelve-year old boy
From Kibera,the one we found sitted alone
by the side of the overtrodden path
leading to industrial area,
the boy without parents
safe for a prostitute sister?
His mother, he said died
of the scourge of AIDS
His father doesn't exist in his memory.
He is a mere statistic among many
wrenched of childhood by an unfair world.
