Birds of Passage

Sleazy 
And sweaty faces 
Of all ages,
Of different races 
Waiting in idle,
For the day to end!

From yesterday’s plight, some are still 
Slumbering on a cold cement,
Unmindful, of the day’s event!
Others, are starting to fun
With a bottle of cheap wine,
Till they’re sloshed, from grass’ smoke! 

Some had cracked up, of misery! 
But, their increasing presence 
Has caused apoplexy
Amongst the local gangs, disturbed!
For their native park is invaded, 
By birds of passage!
