Space

Overcrowding is like a box with too many other boxes inside it

Everywhere-                                                                       are

The                                                                                    kin:

I like the way you have typed this poem as a box. Sometimes with relatives, we feel boxed in, but you are right, it seems like third world countries are a lot more receptive to a crowd retaining love.
