No need for fantasy, concepts or possessions
No ugly scenarios, nice gestures or bad investments
No right ifs, wrong not’s or in between
Here in the slum, it’s all a quest to live thru the day
No false hopes, faiths or despair
No hard feelings, emotions or passions
No pun intended or wrong assumptions
Here in the slum, it’s all a quest to survive the night
No need for assertions that gives no gain
No need for fights that yields no score
No need for greed that leaves you empty
Here in the slum it’s just a quest to see another day
