Banana Tree

Banana trees Most of the jungles of Sumatra are uprooted to plant banana trees the orangutans have been made homeless. They try to sit in the banana trees, but it is too brittle for the animals besides, they don´t care for this type of fruit, which gives them the runs. It reminds me of Lisbon the Portuguese are proud of. Moneyed people are coming from abroad to settle in the city, a wonderful place to live. The poor cannot afford the high rent when flats are modernized to suit newcomers. The unfortunates are pushed out to find a shack, if they are lucky or failing that, live in tents; many tents, in parks and sideroads while waiting to be housed. There are many pretty banana trees in Lisbon, but they are expensive. It has always been like this, the poor and the uncommunicative must take the brunt when a town goes upmarket.
