Well done commentary on this little boys situation. Tragically caught in a cycle of penury, yet his eyes look to the camera with yearning and guarded hope. I don't know what happened with his life, but his legacy was successful as he reaches out to the hearts of all who see this photo. I feel like you grasp that nicely in your poetry. Julie

What a cube boy with a pair of sad eyes. I like your u sing the word "wonderlust" to describe the eyes. It's very important to write about these underprivileged kids.

Well done.

Poor kid. And it's these poor children who are forced to work at such a young age and never have chance at good education. Your poem is a good portrait of a real situation.

    Yes, I had an idea of the poem but when I found the picture I was captivated by it. A picture is a thousand words... true for this one. The idea of the child abuse children go through makes me very sad. I think in some countries children are used for labor

    Thank you very much for understanding and for your excellent review.

    Love

That is a really great photo of a coloured boy all those years ago, when the racial prejudice was possibly at its zenith. It's such a projected tragedy, you've done a really good at this Gypsy, well done blessings Roy
