Dance Of An Acrobat

Poverty constrains, To take the risks, Hunger forces them to bring, Their innocent daughters, On the streets of hungry men, The girls under thirteen, Not yet an adult, Exploiting and exposing, Their boy like bodies, With a long stick in their hands, On a rope fixed high, With poles apart, At least ten feet, They walk on the rope, They dance on the rope, Their vulgar signals, Are products of hunger, And the viewers, Are beasts in hunger, Their vulgar taunts, Their sexy comments, Are replied same way, By hungry innocence, And the old man, Sitting below, With a harmonium, And the old woman, Singing a hot song, Are the parents of the girl, Playing with her life, Dancing semi naked, And when she fell down, The old parents, Started crying, The old man said, Who will earn our bread, She has broken her legs, And her younger sister, Is still learning!
