Working Class Housing Estates...

Life on the street is really hard

never easy if you come from

the rough side of the street.

Council estates and working class

families scrapping money together to

make ends meet. And keep a roof

over their families heads and food

in bellies.

Kids learning to grow up fast.

And look out for themselves

Some join gangs. That lead them

astray. Or into crime and such like.

Others turn into school swots to get out of

the rut of never-ending hand to mouth

living.

To educate and better themselves long

run to help themselves and their family.

Admiration is the word. Determination

speaks volumes.

It is sad council estate kids and families

never get recognition for anything nice

or good in general. Always negative things

normally. And that is sad.

When so many are decent, kind thoughtful

human beings. Who actually look out for

each other and their neighbours.

This good Dawn. In this country the rich get richer and the poor are left to fend for themselves. Benefits are cut and council services are slashed. The BHS staggers from one crisis to the next. Our rulers then try to blame things on the poor themselves. You have done well to describe what is going on. And don't let me get started on brexit!
All the best
