Colombo, bitch!


Somewhere a person is on Facebook
Liking all the Wall Posts he sees

Somewhere a teacher is business minded
Robbing off money as ''fees''

Somewhere a loan shark fishing about
Looking for next sucker who bites

Somewhere one boy is a cissy
While all the other does is fight

Somewhere a drunk is singing
Baila and songs from Shree FM

Somewhere people are gardening
Araliya mal and gotukola stems

Somewhere a woman is in labor
And the doctor is at home asleep

Somewhere in Hikka they're diving
In the coral waters deep

Somewhere a woman gets red notice
For not paying the 'light'' bill

Somewhere in the Angoda hospital
A man refuses to take his pill

Somewhere a kid is sneaking
His way out of a day of school

Somewhere a man is staring
At the clock on the wall like a fool

Somewhere a thug is abusing
Some poor old, innocent soul

Somewhere is Town Hall there's traffic
And busted telephone poles

Somewhere in Mount it's raining
And people in Buba are wet

Somewhere people are buying condoms
To make memories they will regret

Somewhere a car is in a pothole
And some junkie is doing weed

Somewhere a mother is screaming
About a missing glass bead
Somewhere an MP is beating
Up some poor, old man

Somewhere everyone is cheating
Be it at work, at school or an exam

Somewhere in Pettah there is a sarong
That has been expertly stiched

Somewhere people are smiling
And saying ''I'm in Colombo bitch!"'
