THIS DAY AND AGE (Work In Progres)

It is twenty twenty - twenty first centchary
In the U K children going hungry

Chiles Dickens wrote books of the urban poor
Of the nineteenth cencharey eighteen hundreds

As did Robert Tressell pen name of Robert Noonan
Wrote a book The Ragged Trousered Philanthopists
Set in Hastings - of the life as livde in early years
Of the twenty first centchary

Then of course theres who wrote of the urban poor
George Orwell - pen name of Eric A Blair
Of the Nineteen Thirties - referred to as the hungry Thirties
Wrote books on the urban poor

I wonder just what those writers would now write of
Thease days in the twenty first cencharey!

AFRODITE STATHI
You are right.There is poverty around the world that goes unnoticed as if a natural phenomenon.Maybe writers this kind are of eclipse nowadays.Good work Ken.
