Woman on Street

From my observations today in the East End of London 2017 
Woman on street
Yes on street
With Duvet and sheet.

Man on train
Racking his brain
On which property to invest
Which will be the best
His wealth to make
His fortune from others rake

Woman on street
Yes on street
With duvet and sheet

Man on train
Filling his brain
Reading of his football team
News of a contract dream
The million a rich cream.

Woman on street
Yes on street
With duvet and sheet

Old woman looks on in shame
Not this in my country and in my name.
Yet she is hungry and feeling faint.
The truth of this land she must paint.

Woman on Street
Yes on street
With duvet and sheet

This is London in two thousand and seventeen
With poverty more to be seen
Yet contrasted with the wealthy
Who are looking extremely healthy
Gym, designer clothes and good food they buy
While others a good life denied - yet try 

Woman on Street
Yes on street
With duvet and sheet

Contrast to wide to be ignored
Time to ensure that politicians are implored
Poverty and social pain no more
To make this land a fair land.
With opportunity to make us grand.
for us all once more.

MarjFaith April 2017 lets make our vote the best choice this election!

(Could not take a photo of her bed as this felt intrusive, even though her bed was on the street.... this was her personal space amid the crowds of passerby..)
