Urban Poverty
Urban poverty is a cunning creature
she goes looking for a plot to build home
often gets prime area in the city
and builds apartments in rich men’s hearts
Every morning, weekend she plans
sneaks to markets and farms of peasants
grabs daily bread from hungry children
to enhance peasant’s gross imaginary happiness
