HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES. .

HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVES
Just shelter for head and feet,
Crowded together, young and old,
Sickened by summers scorching heat,
Chilled by the winters cruel cold.
Just bit Of the sky so blue,
Seen from a broken windowpane
Just a wee sunbeam struggling through,
Shining moment, gone again.
Just a breath of the springtime bright,
In flower pot, all cracked and brown,
Just a glimpse of the stars at night,
When the darkness comes drifting down.
Just thought of the future life,
Just thought of the silent past,
Work and WEAKNESS worry and strife
Just as long as the days shall last.
