Swim in the dirty water
Of the Gulshan lake!...

a smoke not extinguished
forcefully vacated slum,
fire can emerge...

The slum rat dreams he owns
Buckingham palace...

Cross the Gulshan lake by boats
From morning till night....

The alley cat plays the piano 
Bat cries spear the soul...

I'll wash my hands
In your blood
Dare i catch you selling
Alcohol to children...

When all are fine and dandy
And all are rich and dumb
We'll all go down to randy

I tried
to tell her
not to resort
to slum
dating
and living

but she just
did not see
the queen
she was
inside....

slum at its feet is dancing

downpours in midsummer
lavish houses with creek view
a flooded slum

Don't think you have owned the place
You'll leave it in the time race
Other people will come
And live in your slum
So always have a smiling face...

Hey hey! let's give fire
to the palace, villas
hold the gunpowder to set 
to burn down the house, rouse
who are poor
slum houses to keep hot,  sought
to keep them warmth in winter, in dance & songs
yes we should set
on the principle hot....

Little drummer boy with a rum-tum-dumb
Beat out a melody in ghetto slum
Fuzz drove slowly by
Saw Santa in sky
Consumed donuts as he fell on his bum

from bank to skill
  and labor to love
 for sake of pleasure
and from rooftop to tile
   my list compiles a pile
  as high and long as a miracle mile
 from brain to agility
from slum to nobility
 I am willing to bet that
   pound for pound
     I am better by the pound...

My shy wife was a princess of Babazoa

                               Her dessert was cream lizard from Samoa

                                        She inherited a princely sum

                                    And went to the Big Gabazoa slum

                          And bought chilled bum for her sweet Burmese Boa...

Alive and given a destiny
Love of parents was in mutiny
Grew up in a cold slum
Had a choice, every Sunday the church would come

Life was lived on the highway
His spirit died he lived without The Way

He is the "man", but with no brain
Playing stunt on top of a moving train

The devil dashed him the final blow
See his sober dead body like a cat's mew...

crumbling slum buildings
            a persistence of loud cars
air and noise     and pollution
                 old home with a garden-
woman pushing carriage
  small kids riding    bicycles

In my pain, I have gained
In my shame, I got a name
In my loss, I never was lost
In my penury, I went through the refinery-
              there my destiny was revealed

 And who would have thought all along that a slob from the slum could have the 
guts to leave the ruts to be a king with a ring on a throne and cant be dethroned 
by any imaginable human effort....

(Series: Half of the dream broke with her)


Let my lines possess you to tipsiness,
Scatter your night - make you slum,
& when the night comes
Look at the sky & smile
I long to find my other half - just like the moon.
Let me rest my life on your chest 
Break the silence with my feelings.
I’m a pulse - but you’re a throbbing pulse 
That revive the corner of my prisoned soul....

The round tip dances
On a white paper

To express the feelings
Of the deepest

Blue and blue
Or love and joyful

Every dance to compete
To reach popularity

But every words
Should bring messages
From pieces of a peace

Seeing, and empathy
Struggle and the great words

A wall of the slum,
A kid of the war,
A rally of the street,
They are the true words
True messages...

[on pollution]

I breathe smoke,
sleep in slum
hunt flesh;
over my hideous ribs
play glossy  blossoms 
sprinkling perfume of sweat.

Hey! Handsome!!
I greet you;
Sweat’s sweeter than wine,
Skin thirstier than spine,
Smoke thicker than blood,
Hunting ’s life.

Drive fast swirling smoke;
Come, cuddle and kiss ,
my silky bob!
Who says I’m ugly witch?
Under your glistening arms
I’m the fairest....

I strongly pray for peace and shared respect.
But I'd much quite prey on the nasty scum.
Who are the ones who plant seeds of reject?
I strongly pray for peace and shared respect.
To stop the wreak ruin on people's, swept.
No reason to turn to physical slum.
I strongly pray for peace and shared respect.
But I'd much quite prey on the nasty scum.
