Streetlight
Creeps through
Dirty glass
Of the attic
Bare bulb
Dimly
Blinks
Radio crackles.
Drab walls
Relate
Ten foot by ten
Rooms status
The rent
Way too much
Landlord
Estatic.
Twelve hours
A day
Work pays so little
Its a living wage
Says a government
That fiddles
Expenses and tax
Lies through
Its teeth
While people
They struggle
To eat.
