the back alleys

 

The back-alleys

Many will ignore

Thinking it isn't theirs

Until something happens


The back-alleys

Some set up cooking areas

Others plant greens

Others pile up rubbish


Everyone will see

The town council officers will ignore

No summons or written warning

Everything seems cool by the day


Until a fire breaks out

Until robbers climb up

Until firemen scold them

Everyone will start to open eyes


The back-yards

The untidy spaces

The houseowners don't see

It's the back alleys!
