Two Villages
Written by: Zoya Mehta
The first village is orderly but grey
The people all have a daily routine
They balance work and play.
The houses are all in straight rows,
All are the same colour of white.
Although the people there are happy
Every day is the same,
Day after night.
The second village is messy but bright
Every day is different
And so is every night.
Sometimes they do their work,
Sometimes they take a break,
And the houses are all different colours
Like colourful icing on a cake.
Two villages, different as can be
Each one is happy, as you can see
They both have vacancies, so-
Which one would you choose to live in?.
