AWAY FROM YOUR LIFE IN CAMP ……

……THE HECTIC VILLAGE LIFE GOES ON

 

Shoe-Shine boys sleep

Women fetch water

The gentry never walk anywhere

But the children must work

 

Men sit around playing games

 

While catlle graze, the farmers rest

 

A bicyle needs repairs

 

And a field needs ploughing

 

Donkey grazes, while men do nothing

 

Yes, more men just doing nothing

 

Snakes are charmed

 

And camels are ridden

But the poor donkey carries the heavy load

And just keeps on going

 

The Bum Boats await the next ship to dock

 

While Market Day brings in quite a crowd

Everyone and everything shares the water

be it for drinking or washing or laundry

 

Irrigation system

 

Scholars meet
