Mae Sot Garbage Tip Toy-Land

Down in the dumps today 
Children work not play 
The flies have swarmed 
A stench has formed 
Seagulls cry all day. 

Down in the dumps today 
Maggots pulse and flay
It reeks to hell
Children become unwell 
Amidst a haze of decay. 

Down in the dumps today 
Life’s turned ash grey
Some children are gone 
But nobody mourns
When waste rots away. 

Down in the dumps today 
Children restocked and stay
Given sticks to dig
Scavenge like pigs
Toy-landfill of dismay. 

Where snakes rats 
and broken glass 
torment kids to this day.
