In tatters is my precious personal life
What I have to wear is ragged attire
My two poor feet are always bare
I scavenge for food in a bin of waste
I scavenge for food at a dumpsite
I scavenge for food in any avenue
A bridge is the shelter I call home
A street is the shelter I call home
A ditch is the shelter I call home
Address my plight too, please
Improve my situation too, please
Restore my stateliness too, please
