Street Rat?

     When we passed that boy on the street you said you hoped that street rat would learn a lesson and be taken into custody. But I didn't see him as a street rat, I saw him as a helpless little boy who lost his family.
     A little boy who has never had the privilege of a clean space lick your own. A young man growing up to be good, even in his bad society. I saw a street boy who looked at you as if you were his master and himself a poor beaten slave, waiting to be whipped in pain. Through the mud on his face I saw a bright and shinning dream to have a family someday.
     But thanks to people like you, who cut him down, he may never have the chance. He might never have the leisier to walk through a store for new clothes. He might never talk to other childern in a school yard. And now you tell me he doesn't feel that way? That he is fine on his own? Well then is he is fine then tell me. If he is fine then why is he starving and scavenging for food?
     Why does he have no home? He has the same rights as you and me, doesn't he?Should he not desurve schooling as you and I? Should the government not find him a home although it may be risky? I don't think so. So why should he live this way? What about his unaleinable rights? Remember "pursuit of happyness"? But he isn't happy he is tourchered and needs help.
     You refuse this, but I won't. So good day to you.
