what works for the underclass
The underclass falls into things
Appreciating food when it comes along
Grateful for a cup of coffee or a hot roast beef sandwich
They do not beg any more
Their relatives are tapped out
Do-gooder church people types seek them out
This is how they get a new pair of shoes
The underclass is surviving
Without apology
Not caring about changing
What works for them
Would not work for many
They have friends who uplift them
