Iqbal Masih

Every child should have the chance, to learn and to explore,
to flourish, be free and always have hope-
from today to forevermore.

No child should be forced to work against their will,
no child should ever writhe in pain,
chained to unjust labor until,
for a split second they see the light again.

Each day consists of back breaking work,
each day feels exactly the same,
all because of endless debts,
that will take eternity to pay.

Let us create a paradise on this place we call home,
a garden where no punishment can scar the soul,
where all can laugh, play and be free,
where forever all can be merry and sweet.
