Elucidating Questions

Some countries have slums, places where the poor make their homes

We don’t allow people to do this

We have literal slums built out of canvas and pole.

Beside them infrastructure booms, those who fell off the road, and those who have enough freedom to be annoyed that it is stealing their time.

When you look at it,

They’re so near, but so far apart.

Those people who have enough freedom in our society at least to be able to do

Or got lucky a few times.

In this game of chance,

Yet they sneer at them and say it’s an eyesore.

What will everyone think?

I hope they think the truth,

We built a city for the rich underneath the poor and then hoped the poor would disperse without having anywhere to go.

You’re doing it again,

Just the colours are missing.
