INDIA

A Practical Criticism assignment.

---

Innocent faces upturned in their trust

Blindly stretching hands for a road out

Grubby hands grope at your shirt front

Slipping into your pockets for a chance

Out of the meshpit known as poverty

You rip their dark limbs off your clothes

Cockroaches desperate for escape

Evasion of their abstract exterminator

A/N: Review if you like it.
