Child labours are working not the choice
of their own. They are the victims of their
circumstances and we are taking benefit
of their compulsions.
These children are working as a LABOUR
in school going age for the survival of
their families and to full fill the basic
necessities.
Government should provide the basic
rights to these children and should also
help them in getting education in this way
our country can get rid of social evil.

28. When the sun falls, and the moon comes bright
The shadow falls all over my life,
They say life is a struggle to strive for the best
For me it’s a few hours of rest…
I don’t need your love, I don’t need your sympathy
Just give me a penny,
to fill my stomach which is for a day empty.
Don’t know what lies in the future can’t say what lies ahead
Why I was born, I always regret…
My dream of life oh God, bless me with four shoulders
What can take me to ultimate heights…
Don’t hurt me, don’t laugh at me
I’m your mere reflection, give me some dignity…

for A
better tomorrow…
