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
