the reactor they did bomb

at the slide they did sit

heedless of guttural hoods at "the Pit"

as children they played all day

till Dinnertime! - mum

knowing no life beyond the "Slums"

home was rusty iron pipes

and shoddily patched roof

Shinra took care of them this was "proof"

ignoring the leerly looks

sidestepping passed-out drunks

savings amounted to a few gil in the "bunk"

they played with wigs

and what they could find

being kept out of HoneyBee's "behind"

children with no tomorrow

not even sure of today

like listless waves lapping at Junon's "bay"

so weep and laugh

with the lost lives they lead

and feel for their parents, mouths to "feed".
