Deprivation
You might think you need a tailor
But here's the only one you've got:
A poor choice of cloth
Married to a poorer thread
Spawning knock-offs
Over budget shops.
So you may as well invest,
For it matters not a jot
What you think you choose to wear,
It never really lasts.
A tear here, a cut there;
With cheap cloth,
It does not take much
To turn your life ragged.
An allegorical poem over the attitude and life choices of people caught in deprived areas with little hope of leaving.
