- Standing in this room,
- looking across the rooftops,
- even in the worst conditions,
- people seem to thrive.
- Here is where I write 'My visit in a shanty town'.
- A month before, I saw doom -
- in eyes reflecting withered crops.
- Thinking for next year renditions,
- thinking on how to stay alive.
- Through these eyes I write down -
- The story of those holding a broom,
- standing at the back door with cops.
- The story of those recovering from addictions,
- starting to revive.
- Here is where I write 'My visit in a shanty town'.
- Through this town, kids play, "zoom!"
- If they're lucky, grab some pops,
- continuing on their way, friendly altercations.
- Thinking of tomorrow, deviously contrive,
- kings, wearing an invisible crown.
- Through the gloom,
- perseverance never stops,
- in spite of many suns,
- this shanty will always strive,
- big harvests, rich and brown.
