Why I Sell Plastic Bags
written by: Massayan Favor Kollie

I sell plastic because my parents died in a terrible accident
Two years later, my only brother got killed in a violent incident
I was left with nothing but to struggle all day just for a cent
With pain in my heart, I sell plastic because I want to go to school and
Tears running down my cheeks, I sell because I’ve been used as a tool
I sell plastic because I’ve been ridiculed and misruled
Please don’t insult me when I’m selling
Please don’t assault me when I’m screaming
Please feel the pain of a young child looking for a living
Please buy my plastic the next time you see me and
Remember, I’m only a child looking for school fees
Even though I’m in agony, I won’t stop until I earn a degree
I’m a young innovative and motivational writer who studies Civil Engineering at the University of Stella Maris Polytechnic Monrovia, Liberia, but I’ve never allowed my career to separate me from the passion I have for writing. I always allow the pen to bleed and let my ideas flow and reach the entire world. I hope to one day be recorded in the Guinness Book Of Records.
