Abandoned by the agency meant to house them

Forced to pitch up tents, violating ordinances

Tossed into jail for living with no roof over them

Nobody knows their names, none of them have faces

Sharing neither religion, nor race, nor creed

Only the sense of a part of a growing breed

Sleeping in a tent on public parkland

Things like this were not known to Ayn Rand

Waking up at night in a torrent of water

It is just useless to call the plumber

There's nothing you can do to stop the flow

Singapore rains pretty hard, if you didn't know
