Driving in Ghana

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Child where is your mother?

Why do you beg?

You have no shoes?

Don't lean on my car!

Child where is your home?

Why on the streets?

You have no food?

Don't touch my windows!

Child where is your father-

Sorry, wrong question

[laugh]

an orphanage perhaps

that should be your home.

Where are you going?

You do not belong behind gated walls!

The slums. The squatters. Those are your people!

That should be your next destination.

Now, stop looking at the new shoes I just bought.

I have no money to give you.
