When last I saw Musa rise to the top
was on the Midday News Statistics,
they said illiteracy had increased in the slums,
and so there he was topping the chart.

He was born with a mind wide as the sky
but his only classroom was the street,
of which he had to master the syllabus of survival.

He was only six when hunger taught him math,
one meal, divided by five mouths equals a belly still begging for more.
At Nine, he stopped dreaming,
dreams required sleep,
and he was too busy chasing the minutes between sunrise and survival.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/section>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

At 12, he was fluent in struggle,
his accent was rich in poverty,
he could read signs of rejection and knew opportunities asked for surnames.

But Musa never asked for much.
Just a school where the ceiling do not leak, a teacher who stays longer than his hunger,
and a textbook that is not debt.

But life has a way of silencing the needy.
His cries are echoes in a world too loud to listen,
\"a broken system\".

But what if we turned the page?
What if we gave ink to his story, turned his empty hands into hands that hold a future?

For education shouldn\u2019t be a privilege but a right,
one that every child is stamped in regardless of their birthplace.

So would you rise to the call,
so this young child who once dreamed without limits will not limit his dreams
because tuition is an illusion for people of his kind.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n <\/section>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
