The couple sat hugging each other
not only for love but for warmth
their roof above was the open sky
their carpet under foot cardboard
each other all they had to live for
in this day and age truly poor!
Yet they stayed together not bitter
nor wanting charity or empathy
once lived in a nice home good jobs
but through unemployment
their lives spiralled out of control
taking an unwelcome toll!
Forced into the depths of despair
illness added its heavy burden
but they had each other to share
not bitter or blaming anybody
had faith when it all seemed bleak
in unity a fresh start would seek!
Together they hugged each other
as a lost society rushed by
no longer caring for the destitute
without money and wealth
humanity left to grim prospects
the majority treated as rejects!
