POERTY POVERY KNOCKS!* (work completed)
Poverty poverty knocks - so the opening line of a old British folk song opens withThat old song as relevant today
As more and more are suffering poverty now
Many kids going with out a hot meal - going off to school with out much of a breakfast - with out a breakfast at all
Parents - many single parents - can barely pay their bills - rent - heat - gas - water
Poverty - grinding down more and more
Middle class Brits - being dragged down - with the working class - and the workless
Ques form outside the food banks - none looks up and into the eyes of the fellow quers
It's funny ter do - aint it - folk songs written and sang three hundred years a go
Some how just read and sound as fresh - topical today!
Funny old thing his history - keeps coming back - bight us in the all in the arse!
It's a funny old world we suffer so - in our own ways!
And Xmas - not that far away!
*POVERTY POVERTY KNOCKS: Is a North Of Britain folk song. Can be found on YouTube.
I also recommend: Four Loom Waver . A folk song of and from Lancashire , again can be found on YouTube.
