Life Among Trash

    Towers of garbage stacked high, as if reaching towards the sky,

The children sift among the grimy, dirt-covered trash, for it is their ticket to survival.

They are covered in grease and disease, most search through the muck all day hoping to find something worthwhile,

The question remains, will they? will they ever find anything but plastics, papers and stupp?

One boy does, he finds the treasure that will change his life.

Though it is not a usual treasure such as glittering gold or sparkling silver it is a treasure to him.  For that bag changes everything.
