Though they know nothing
There are pages and pages....
By
Famous writers
Describing .....Us.......
In different ways....
Mostly in derogatory terms.....
But ....
Why should I care.....

I'll go there again.....
To....The bus stop....
Shade of a lamp post.....
Am sure....
To ...meet...the broken men....
Of...
Wives adorned in gold
They will provide me....
Not with ...Gold....
But...Enough to feed.....
Mouths of my home..
So why should I care.....

I know ages ago....
And...
Many there to come....
Will be..... pages....
By famous people...
Who may be also from....
Rich....but...broken homes....
Looking for ....
A small solace........!!!!
So why should I care......!!!!
