The Playground

Wasteland, weird land, land looking wild

Broken glasses, bottles, dirty children.

Children sporting stainless pants like satin

Playing, throwing sands and rolling tyres

Or anything round that could be rolled

On grasses,on plain ground, on dying grasses.

Children, dirty-looking children entangled

Fighting kung-fu like Bruce Lee

Kicking, jumping high and landing.

Children, dirty little children engaging

In boxing,weightlifting and laughing

Of us the children on this spot

None born there was with silver spoon.
