Chip shop
Next to a heart hospital

A labourer sleeping under his truck
Unmindful of the hay overload above

Kids guzzling bottled water
As they protest to save rivers

Leaders flying hundreds of miles
To reinforce the status quo

Orphans roaming the streets
Where couples queue up outside fertility clinics

The clothes that get skimpier
As the actress grows older

The lies that get bolder
As the mountain gets higher

Life is full of oxymorons
In the post-truth city of my mind
