Yesterday's birthday in London
Posted by Ray Schaufeld on Wed, 02 Nov 2022
At home we play the covers game
With broken beds and window pane
And discard clothes and reject toys
And plastic food box from the guys
In Town I see less furniture
More cars and more expenditure
The cheaper and the dearer routes
The chicken box - the quinoa shoots.
Why still the same unfair divide?
Hungry is angry - deep inside
Can we not simply help ourself
And give a spot to someone else
It's like the gap from War to Peace
We share - the fighting may just cease
Our stocks and shares stay constant now
And us not cry if we drop down.
Why still the inequality?
the dodgy deals - the rigged up tree
Why when one prisoner goes free
One more goes down for robbery .
----------------------------------------------------
Yesterday I then turned sixty six
some say old sket with carrier bags-
I say old bag who has career,
we make our choices - take our picks.
Perhaps we say 'no war - yes peace'
I hope that it will come around
Before I end up in the ground
No war , yes peace
o thank you please xxRay
My birthday was mainly good, I wish you all a good one
