Ganesha, Sin Town Poem by Shirley Morgan

Colors, colors a state of mind.
I shall paint this picture as a black woman and not Hindu.
I two shall tell my story as a writer.
Like the Hindu Mahabharatas (author)
He told the story of the great 'Ganesha, Lord of success'
I two can tell the story of the town Ganesha Hills of Pomona, CA
The only difference of this canvas is the geographical location.
My work, the beauty of art, it comes in different forms. Riding through Ganesha, I see poverty, sin, homelessness and the working class.
They call it sin town.
Why sin town when at one time it was inhabitanted with rich folks(The upper elite) When did my painting become so black!
And infected with 'Mary Jane'
The great Ganesha Hills a painting of sin.
Oh no, I shall paint this canvas with brighter colors
