Floating life on wheels [Dhaka]. The photo is about flood affected people of Bangladesh. In this photo we can see a rickshaw puller who earns money by pulling passengers in his rickshaw is stuck in the water of flood and beside that rickshaw a private car is also stuck there and the rickshaw puller is pulling that rickshaw from the water and another person is also pushing the car because the engine has been stopped because of water.: photo by Ehsanul Siddiq Aranya, 26 July 2017
Voyage by wheels [Dhaka]. The photo is about a flood affected area of Bangladesh caused by heavy rainfall. This is a story about a Pulling-Van, a Father and his son. The van-puller is pulling the van in the water like a boatman and father is protecting his son from being wet by the rain. But the boy is enjoying the journey by wheel in the water.: photo by Ehsanul Siddiq Aranya, 26 July 2017

Lorenzo Thomas: Downtown Boom (Houston)
There are no gospel singers
Anymore
On the corners
They held down for Jesus
Valets park cars
At restaurants for fancy people
On expense accts or dates
So many times
People come up to me
And say, Billy
Hey wait a minute
You not Billy!
You can see the new ballpark
Just past the Courthouse
But which way is redemption?
