street children and their plight"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The malevolence aforethought<br \/>\nThe evil that abounds<br \/>\nThe enmity is everywhere<br \/>\nAt night the ugly sounds<br \/>\nBus stations and truck stops<br \/>\nAre where child sex prevails<br \/>\nAt night the children are at risk<br \/>\nAs apparently all else fails<\/p>\n<p>There are police but they tend to be<br \/>\nShading the Taliban<br \/>\nThey don&#8217;t have time for child abuse<br \/>\nImran Khan&#8217;s new plan<br \/>\nIs to open forth a task force<br \/>\nAnd with this film thats been made<br \/>\nUp the anti on the  war<br \/>\nIts on his shoulder laid<\/p>\n<p>And my word its dark and dangerous<br \/>\nOn the streets of Peshawar<br \/>\nThe only hostel really is too small<br \/>\nAnd they are<br \/>\nNot equipped to help the children<br \/>\nAnd so alas they go<br \/>\nTo where they can sell their bodies<br \/>\nIn Bus Stations they know<\/p>\n<p>There are beds to be rented<br \/>\nBut sex it has to be<br \/>\nThe bed hostels are tied in<br \/>\nWith the sex unfortunately<br \/>\nThere is no escape you do it<br \/>\nSurvive the evil streets<br \/>\nAnd being close to the afghan border<br \/>\nDrugs too well unseats<br \/>\nThe psyche of the people<br \/>\nAnd aids is a factor too<br \/>\nSo every one is after arse<br \/>\nAnd after dark they do<\/p>\n<p>The film shows men confirming<br \/>\nThey regularly agree<br \/>\nTo having sex with children<br \/>\nFrom 8 years old some be<br \/>\nThey have no parents most of them<br \/>\nOr the jobs they do don&#8217;t pay<br \/>\nAnd so to live and get meagre food<br \/>\nThey give their arse away<\/p>\n<p>I hate to write of words like this<br \/>\nBut there its matter of fact<br \/>\nIf you do not do this<br \/>\nYou will be attacked<br \/>\nOr worse and so you do it<br \/>\nAnd hope the HIV<br \/>\nStays away from you at least a while<br \/>\nSo you can see<\/p>\n<p>They work from early morning<br \/>\nLooking for rubbish to sell<br \/>\nTo recycle its a job that pays<br \/>\nReally not so well<br \/>\n\u20ac1.25 a day how can souls live on<br \/>\nThey really are out there suffering<br \/>\nAnd Trust is all but gone<\/p>\n<p>The society is all to cock<br \/>\nWomen apparently<br \/>\nSo few of them now leave their homes<br \/>\nThere is no parity<br \/>\nTo me and so young children are the easy<br \/>\nOnes to lure<br \/>\nAnd until they sort these problems out<br \/>\nWhat will be the cure<\/p>\n<p>Its a malignancy<br \/>\nA very hostile world out there<br \/>\nAnd they<br \/>\nThe street children some 5000<br \/>\nAre in somebody&#8217;s pay<br \/>\nEither for sex or pleasures<br \/>\nIt is no life at all<br \/>\nMany self harm and walk the street<br \/>\nAnd just seem to be on call<\/p>\n<p>People are in denial<br \/>\nIf you ask them what they feel<br \/>\nThey know there is a problem<br \/>\nBut are not assured its real<br \/>\nA hidden shame thats surfacing<br \/>\nTo blacken and to force<br \/>\nThe town itself and the children<br \/>\nTo sort things out at source<\/p>\n<p>These great big colourful Buses<br \/>\nPly from town to town<br \/>\nPainted with historic stories<br \/>\nThe stuff thats going down<br \/>\nNearly all truck drivers are<br \/>\nHaving sex with kids<br \/>\nAll of them are suffering<br \/>\nAnd making avid bids<\/p>\n<p>To rid themselves of all of this<br \/>\nTo harken up the grey<br \/>\nTo  Prostitute the little children<br \/>\nEvery single day<br \/>\nIts demoniacal and horrible<br \/>\nBut its all most of them know<br \/>\nIf they haven&#8217;t eaten for several days<br \/>\nThey know they have to go<\/p>\n<p>On certain Streets to be picked up<br \/>\nTo prostitute and be<br \/>\nPrayed on by the frustrated drivers<br \/>\nThere are no laws to see<br \/>\nBut one young boy they followed<br \/>\nImagined he had AIDS<br \/>\nHe went to have himself tested<br \/>\nAnd was clear as the picture fades<br \/>\nWe hear him saying when he grows up<br \/>\nHe will help the children who<br \/>\nMight still be having to sell their arse<br \/>\nFor thats what his lot do<\/p>\n<p>Imagine this now can we<br \/>\nNo parents and no place<br \/>\nNo food no where to lay ones head<br \/>\nIts just one huge disgrace<br \/>\nYou have to sell your body<br \/>\nFor a 1000 or so rupees<br \/>\nAnd that may give you a night of pain<br \/>\nAnd suffering to seize<br \/>\nEvery drop of goodness from you<br \/>\nAnd you are left<br \/>\nBroken from the experience<br \/>\nAnd dirty and bereft<br \/>\nOf any sort of sanity<br \/>\nAnd no one cares a sod<br \/>\nNo sympathy from anyone<br \/>\nNot even from your god<\/p>\n<p>Lets hope Imran Khan<br \/>\nHas power and can effect a cure<br \/>\nThese terminals are dens of vice<br \/>\nBreeding all sorts of fear<br \/>\nThese were little innocent souls<br \/>\nDegraded all the way<br \/>\nBy frustrated drivers<br \/>\nAnd some don&#8217;t even pay<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The malevolence aforethought The evil that abounds The enmity is everywhere At night the ugly sounds Bus stations and truck stops Are where
