list poem-India

Droughts and flash floods
Thunderstorms and earthquakes
teeming with infectious diseases
Only ten years of expected education
How can they hope to change?
Slums adjacent to high rises
Telemarketers leave work
Return to their tin roof homes wth burlap beds
Consume meals spiced with cardamom with their families
An area populated for over two thousand years
With a life expectancy under seventy
Progression is unknown
