ROSIE THE BAG LADY

ROSIE THE BAG LADY

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

Whilst the rich get richer day by day 
Rosie's world is both poor and grey 
No one cares or gives a damn 
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 forget 
In every town and in every city 
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.  It reminds me of the song "Streets of London" by Ralph McTell.  He made several recordings of the song.
