Once Upon a Time in Poverty

Once Upon a Time in Poverty

Intense summer heat,
the walkway covered with feet,
squeezing, past broken tiles,
of uneven pavement and soiled back lanes.
Into their corporate rat race.

Bangkok at night, brings about contradiction,
When poverty dooms the illusion of prosperity;
Life, as it is seen,
shrouded by darkness and wicked shadows, of loneliness.
