Joe Maverick Poet Narrative

Notes About The Poem

The brothers in the below write live In Springfield avenue Bury St Edmunds Suffolk England.Havebury is the housing Association trying to evict them on the 13th of this august..I hope there is intervention Somehow to reverse this appalling situation.)

Darren and Steve Marshall

Two brothers, Darren and Steve
Living fifty five years, with a loving
Dad and Mum, at their home which
Seems more than just a building to
Them, Dad and Mum have both passed
On, rules state the building can only be
Given into the same familiy once.' Which
Happened when their Dad died first I would reason as two become one.' The
Same name.' How could it be.? The landlord havebury is seeking to evict them
Steve however has special needs.' Darren
Thinks it will destroy him' As you know I am trying to help the Mitchell familiy near
Southhampton England on my blog, of
Which i have only one.' But seeing these
Brothers and i can only think a hard hearted descision by a judge at law to allow them to be removed, i ask for a change of decsision by Havebury in this
Case..Have a heart Havebury, let them be.'

Joseph P. DiMino August 4, 2026 at 5:46 AM Landlord is not a moralist -- he's a landlord. Judge follows the law. Not always correct, but is the law. Right, the community needs to come together to help this family. And work to change laws that seem unsympathetic and unjust. I ran a non profit for many years--have seen this up-close and firsthand. You fight the good battle, Joe. Joe Maverick August 4, 2026 at 6:48 AM Thank you dear Jie Dimino..Good to hear of your helpfull work, i wrote this because i can only put up one blog at a time as you know' I only saw their plight after putting up the blog re the Mitchell familiy In Southhampton England..We try.)

Silent One August 2, 2026 at 9:26 AM A sincere and emotional poem that shines a light on a family's struggle. I hope it inspires others to support Darren and Steve and advocate for a compassionate outcome. Joe Maverick August 2, 2026 at 10:43 AM Yes i will contact havebury homes Myself, i hope others do also Si' I don't think this sort of stuff is right ( i question the judges ruling?) As man and wife living rights should not pass to the spouse she should already have them.!
