LIVING ON THE BREADLINE.

These days we worry about

whether we can eat or not

bills are piling up high

little money have we got.

nowadays bills come first

as we try to rob Peter to pay Paul

children are going hungry

even the mighty can sometimes fall.

Governments screw the poor

taxes have to be paid

the rich always get richer

as bread lines are always made.

Hard working families deteriorate

luxuries are very rare

children do not understand

why the table is bare.

As the Years come and go

we wonder will things get better?

prices rise, money is tight

it's a World for the young trend setter.

Jobs are hard to come by

benefits are into reform

but it's always the working class

who suffer by the norm.

What is left for our Children?

when little or no work is around

even for the highly educated

who Years go were sound.

We have to live in hope

be positive every day

you get your say at voting time

then the public get their way.

William Sinclair Manson's poetry
