Their Plight, November 7th. (Tent City People)
Sing me a song
For the street folk
Down by the tracks
Camp all set.
Trying their best
To make good of it
Days ago, even when wet.
Thankful for roots
Of a sort here.
Thankful for friends
Who will share.
Smokes and some cheese
Bottled water, yes please.
All in the kind open air.
Peaceful with Law
And the passers-by.
Some of them shout
"Get to work".
What would we do
Slightly just
Turn the screw?
Yes, hard not to
End up berserk.
Man sweeping his yard. I had a pleasant talk with him. Property near train station.
In the midst of another Tent City, Victoria Park on the island.
