ROSIE THE BAG LADY

ROSIE THE BAG LADY

Here is a tale of a lady with bagsย 
She used to dress well but now dresses in rags
This lady was once a mother and wifeย 
Now her bags are her only lifeย 

Whilst the rich get richer day by dayย 
Rosie's world is both poor and greyย 
No one cares or gives a damnย 
As Rosie pushes her bags in a worn out pram

We are living in a world of greed and the Internet
However people like Rosie you must never forgetย 
In every town and in every cityย 
People like Rosie deserve love not pity

beautifully written with lovely rhyme scheme...we have people like Rosie around us but a lot of people don't just care...like you rightly mentioned in your write, the rich are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer....and like Rosie lots of people deserve love not pity..

A nice poem.ย  It reminds me of the song "Streets of London" by Ralph McTell.ย  He made several recordings of the song.
