Drinking for comfort, f*****g for food

Drinking for comfort, f*****g for food

A Poem by Gee
"

A take on a single mums plight

"
Four different fathers
a monochrome brood
drinking for comfort
and f*****g for food.
Best before blow jobs
use before shags
payment in polythene
half empty bags.
Laying and lying
but only to self
shop soiled, outdated,
left on the shelf

What people do sometimes looking for a place to feel loved and belong- sadness as it’s self destruction but each has a path to walk- pray people learn to love themselves no matter where they come from- very direct and full of passion and truth- great words- make people think🌹

Hey, sentiment well and truly reciprocated. All Good Things, N
Well-written and tough, you describe many in our society. Shouldn't tell stories, but one or two might be my kin. As I have seen, either sex can sink into such a gutter. Some can be pulled from there, but others not.

Wow - move over John Cooper Clarke - there's a new social conscience in town with six guns of hard-hitting phrases and smokin' metaphors.

When I taught in the inner city I knew these people. And young one's of both sexes as well.
And we call ourselves an enlightened society.
A social comment writ large and well crafted here.
