Crushed K2

by: Hafeez Ur Rehman

Pushed against the
wall was a load
of crushed stone.

The homeless
in their wait for fresh trash
embarked to scale.

Every time the youngest came close,
the top tumbled and the base swelled
to the pain of city government.

Should they put their heads
together to curb encroachment
or go on a hunger strike against the hungry?.
