I Exist Amidst A Thick Overgrowth Of Luxury
i exist amidst a thick overgrowth of luxury
&
i exist amidst a thick overgrowth of luxury
and a dense undergrowth of affluence-
i can touch, feel and gape in wonder
but i have no rights at all to enjoyment-
yes, i am a slave girl born to toil and clean;
showered in abuses and punishment
with restless bones and sleepless eyes-
my dreams too scare me to death-
and in the palatial houses with hundred doors
i have no gates open for me to breathe my free air-
i could feel the stench of prosperity and gold
suffocating me to death and hell-
o how i wish to cry my heart out to a real dear soul-
god, grant me the penniless life of a poor
to kiss the dust of my distant earth
shouting my joy of a carefree pastoral bliss!
