the changes in the neighbourhood




The changes in the neighbourhood

Jog and walk to feel the light breezes

Some facades change; some stay familiar

Along the way the dogs keep barking



Some houses keep empty for years

Suddenly renovated and owner stayed

The months out of the jogging trail

New people moved in to live



The shoplots are left empty

For years nobody wanted to occupy

Now a new car repair shop opened

And a Diamond Mind office



The new housing scheme

Owners moving in slowly

The shopping complex is empty

A sore point in the area



Jog and walk with the sun setting

The cool breezes singing in the ears

The water buffaloes grazing in the open field

The cow dung on the road
