This is not an ideological poem written from any of the major political tendencies. It is a common sense social justice plea
Bitter storm-lashed halting site or haunt, granite stone bench in lieu of hovel, rawbone seat of pity for the pauper, downtrodden, cast off, as I sense, gut wrenching scruples writhe within me, in situ almsgiver’s strident gulp, respite, relief, twinge of conscience, grim bench so derelict, let’s “address” this!
