What A Wonderful World

What A Wonderful World

A Poem by Pumkin

What A Wonderful World


The older kids trail after one another

While the younger ones jumped and twirled

They said they only need each other

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world


They sleep outside while the wind blows hard

And the next day they talk about their dreamworld

Including everyone including the ones who are abused or scarred

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world


The weathers cold and the fires low

But I see how they all are curled

While sharing stories about a man with a bow

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world


The wind blows away their cardboard home

But they still joke about how it's better than being in the netherworld

While admiring an dirty old broken comb

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world


They have so little but desire even less

Despite the hunger, pain and cold they feel

They all are proud and say their life is full of success

And to an outsider like me it seems so surreal


They aren't afraid of the hunger or to die

They say that loneliness is what they all fear

None are afraid of the danger but instead of saying good bye

And surprisingly none wanted their real family to reappear  


In their tight knit family, no one is above someone and no one is below

And I just realised that to them, this is their dreamworld

Despite the hardships, their smiles are bright and you see them glow

And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
