the business men of Kolkata

drive orange Lamborghinis

as children spit out their teeth

and choke

on the fumes

the business men of Kolkata

design and approve

high rise towers

luxury apartments

with marble

and gold

as the children lay blankets

atop shit and piss

to sleep

the business men of kolkatta

tell their wives and mothers

they hope to inspire

a new generation

of Indian children

to work hard

to succeed

to be more

than the children

living in filth

watching

everyone

that they love

die
