The Magpies

Thepoetman1234


Notice of absence from Thepoetman1234
THE GOAT

Bustling streets heaping with carts

And horses and walking moving parts

But amid these towers are the people "living"

The people who manage to make their nest by shivving

 

The Suburban man walking through the main busy world

All on his mind is his job, his wife and the money he's curled

But the "people" have came and see his riches 

So they swoop in and take the jewels, the diamonds and escape to the ditches

 

Back to the nest they go 

Or should I say the sewer

There mothers feed the child little food

and the above feel bad of them as a fewer

  • Comment from author about the poem: The magpie is a type of bird that usually steals metal shiny material, well at least that's what my theater teacher told me. My poem is set in Whitechapel, London, 1888, on the busy market street, some believe that people used to live under the sewer which is why I made this poem. Hope you like :)
