A mother must feed her baby anyway she can.I walk the streets hungry, looking for any way to make money.What will it take?Why won’t people hire a women with big ideas?I know I’m not as pure as others.I am a mother but I was unwed.I claim my sins.I know I’ve done wrong. It’s my fault. Please help me.My knees are red and bloody from begging.My dignity has vanished. I will do anything to feed my child.Please don’t take my mistakes out on him.I will live out my flaws in hell.I promise you I will.Please help me feed my child of God. I will give you all I can to trade his life for mine.An eye for an eye.A life for a life.Please feed this sweet child.
