    The city cries.
    Scorching sun, uncool air,
    buildings everywhere…
    water is now scarce…
    soon it will become a nightmare.
    Garbage you will find in heaps,
    a horrible sight is the sewage leak.
    Government officials and their apathy…
    people offer each other sympathy.
    Animals and birds have no place to go…
    tongues out one can see dogs,
    looking for a shade or burrow.
    Birds are flapping here and there…
    in search of a new nest, as trees
    are cut. But who cares???

    The city cries….
    facing some very difficult times.
