In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Que Sera Sera.”

………………………………………………………………….

sitting on the rubble

the tiny kid 

too frail for his age

dirty hands and torn clothes

staring vacantly

passers-by oblivious to his existence

the mother long gone

where will his fate take him

what perseverance he would show

how will he change his destiny

the beggar child
