dirty

there's a city i know where every day the average person is confronted with a quite sizeable minority or what one could call 'the great unwashed'

dirty and in unwashed clothes they batter their way through the streets of this city, pushing a buggy with one hand, a cigarrette hanging from the mouth and a filthy food stained minor or two trailing behind by the wrist.

just as they pass you they decide to raise their decibel emissions to environmentaly unsound levels to becon to a person of the same genus across the street in the most profane language they can muster.

i dont object to people that are poor and less fortunate then me but the thing is that water is free and it takes even less effort to have dignity than it dos to wash.

this is my city, my home

welcome to dublin

i can't wait to wash the dirt from my feet.
