An excellent poem from Paul Cookson, on FB today. Says it all…
”Daily poem - Suella Braverman, once again the inspiration ... unfortunately
LIFESTYLE CHOICE
I could have escaped to the country I could have lived by the sea I could have chosen anywhere But this is the place for me Handy for all amenities In that I can rejoice This tent in a high street doorway That’s my lifestyle choice
Yes to the freezing nights Yes to the driving rain And if I had to choose once more I’d choose the same again Yes to constant hunger Cold and always moist This tent in a high street doorway That’s my lifestyle choice
I love my cardboard notice Asking for your charity I love the fact I can rely On other people’s sympathy These things you don’t understand While stuck in your Rolls Royce This tent in a high street doorway That’s my lifestyle choice
This is not a style of life That I would recommend To my worst enemy Never mind a friend But you hear what you want to hear You cannot hear my voice This tent in a high street doorway That’s my lifestyle choice
Your ignorance – deliberate Like the heartless views you voiced Indicative of where you are And your lifestyle choice
