Beauty of the beasts Born on the dark streets, Left alone, uncared, Denied food, shelter, Beg, borrow and steal. Born on the dark streets, Insulted, hated, betrayed, Asked to move on, It’s my life, I will stay. Born on the dark streets, It’s my life, I will stay, Lead it my own way, Tears will fade away. Born on the dark streets, Your heart of stone, A throne of thorn, Beauty of the beasts. Born on the dark streets, Pity not needed, man I am, Whining I am not, Grow up you say. Born on the dark streets, It’s my life, I will stay, Lead it my own way, Tears will fade away. Born on the dark streets, Pretending is what, Grown ups do, You turned me to a beast. Born on the dark streets, You will regret, one day For what you have done, Loser is you, you are the one. Born on the dark streets, It’s my life, I will stay, Lead it my own way, Tears will fade away. It’s my life; I will stay…… @April 8 2009 "Hardwork pays in the long run" |

Hi Prasad, there are strong thoughts in your poem and convincing ones about destiny...the echo of the verses is deep and tells a lot of suffering and injustice, Thank you for sharing this poignant poem. best wishes yann |

Yo Prasad, It's great to see you. Your last line is great: "It’s my life; I will stay……" That's the spirit. So many try to get away from the streets, but you just can't do it. Bobby |
