There's a fire,
it's burning up in Dalston,
where the men
can't afford no children.
Around the flame,
they play their games,
calling it dissent;
money spent on sweets
instead of rent.
Shoreditch High
a Roma begs for spare change.
I can't oblige her
because I'm living on a slave wage.
But one day fine,
aged 29,
I'll own a bespoke suit
courtesy of sugar mama's loot.
Cockney pub,
a man preaches to assemblies
all about
those wrecking G-d and country.
With a wink,
I raise my drink
with wisdom to impart:
Ask him has he read the Book of Marx.
Canary Wharf
beckons from the distance,
offering
salvation from my pittance:
"Grow on up,
earn a buck,
join our useful class;
engineering booms
with a crash."
