Year
Bitter windswept halting site or haunt,
granite stone bench in lieu of hovel,
rawbone seat of pity for the pauper,
downtrodden, cast off, as I sense,
gut wrenching spasms writhe within me,
in situ almsgiver’s strident gulp,
respite, relief, twinge of conscience,
a bench is no abode, let’s “address” this!
Bitter windswept
burdensome halting site,
granite stone bench in lieu of hovel,
rawbone seat of pity for the pauper,
downtrodden, ostracised ,as I sense,
gut wrenching scruples writhe inside me,
in situ almsgiver’s heartfelt gulp,
solace, sorrow, twinge of conscience,
frozen bench remote, let’s “address” this!
Bitter storm lashed lone dwelling or haunt,
granite stone bench a stopgap hovel,
wind chill seat of pity for the homeless,
neglected outcast, whose pain I feel,
stomach ache scruples deep within me,
anguish, suffering, twinge of conscience,
lets “address” this woeful social plight
