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
