Title: A false pretence
Looking Around.
I see it all.
What is scraped into hidden corners
Poverty is everywhere.
Lives amock.
A child weeping in a half decent frock.
Her pale eyes shine with fright.
Her tears like crystals.
Our hope
And rock
To her is nothing but a cover up.
Whereas here I am lucky
We are are,
I have good fitting outfits, a home
Luxuries like computers,
Heat,
Electricity,
Internet,
Phones
Friends and a reason to live
But look in some cities where children are on the run.
Homeless and hungry
Their battle had only just begun.
And yet here I stand in luxury.
I sometimes take for granted
This is based on when I went to London a year ago and saw loads of homeless children in tourist spots.
