LIVES

I have an easy life compared to you,
You have old things, but I have new.
You work night and day
I go to school, have fun and play.

You make things that I buy.
You keep working until you die.
You don’t even stop to cry-
What am I to you?

People, stop to realise
that you’re the only one that tries.
It isn’t fair what you must do

I have an easy life compared to you.

Emily, Golspie Primary , P7
