Untitled

A girl working in the street
Juggling in the street
Waiting for people to watch
Juggling for six hours a day
Has to get money to help her parents
So hot in the street
Can't wait to go home
Has to work every day
Does not have much money
To buy food to eat
Dreaming about going to school
Instead of working

Untitled

My name is Aarti
I have to work every day
My boss is really mean
He makes us work ten hours a day
Sometimes he lets us go to the bathroom
I make cloth
It is really hard

I never get to see my friends
Or my sister, my brother, my mom or dad
When we go to sleep,
I cry myself to sleep

I make cloth
It is really hard.
