in the slums
pay the mafia
or water
supply closed
booster pumps
for the slum dog
millionaires
no one knows
on the heap
of a garbage
humanity grows
parched dreams
rationed water flows
the slums a gold mine
for the builder mafia
politically patronized
slum rehabilitation
scheme on a
jarring note
what you get
is what you vote
roti kapda makan
a slogan
on an empty note
gharibi hatao
gharibon
ko bhagao
the rich man wrote
the slum dweller
the ultimate
sacrificial goat
