Kliptown shantytown
dreams silenced
by the morning rain
footsteps of running commuters
kliptown shantytown
the sky loses its brains
in torrents it starts to rain
people use tables as boats
kliptown shantytown
when day is young
women wash clothes down the river
children swim like fish in dirt
kliptown shantytown
frogs croak crickets chirp children snore
and nakedness entangles with passion
till dawn
