Day Twenty One

 

FIGHTING FOR LIFE

Standing still revolving at the same time

Itemise this and that throw the other

Her blanket keeps her warm on the dry nights

Nights when it rains she sleeps under the arch

 

The arches where all the addicted go

Going there is the worst thing that she hates

She hates it more than queuing up for food

Food that she gets once a day God bless her

 

Her and a million like her sleep outside

Outside in all weathers fighting for life

File this that and the other sling your hook

Cook some soup take it down to the kitchen

 

The kitchen where the fire is always hot

Shot to bits on a Saturday so what

I didn’t do the prompt at NaPoWriMo today.
