the name says it all orphan age br they are orphans from birth br until they reach that age br that is how they got the name orphanage. br br have you ever thought of the aches and pains br that they have gone through. br unlike me or you. br br 'we had parents' whether they were bad or good br we could not be misunderstood br but these children never had that chance br people would look at them and turn their glance. br br they were also known as 'children of prey' br for the abuse would not go away. br they would be behind fences br in their ragged torn clothes br a disgusting sight to behold. br br the urine stench would tickle your nose br as they held on the fence br in that sorrowful pose. br br natted hair, dirty hands and faces. br torn shoes with no laces. br asking all who passed by br if they cared if they 'lived or died'. br br people would hide their faces in shame br wondering if they could ever be the same. br for now these faces haunted them br wherever they would go. br and the love these kids would never know. br br this is not an orphanage, but a house of horror br for these children there is no tomorrow. br they say the times have changed drastically br but that is something i do not see. br br let's tear down these places br who steal childrens dreams br and let them live a life that's clean.
