Rebel Poet Favourite Poem by Rebel Poet

She sits there in the candlelight
With a blanket over her head
Trying to keep her self-warm
And eating a piece of stale bread
She spent all her money
Paying her gas bill
And now she sits in the cold
Suffering from a winters chill
If only she came from abroad
More money she would have got
Like being an asylum seeker
They seem to get the lot
Even though she is English
And her husband fought in the war
She just gets treated differently
And not on an even par
She won’t turn on her gas again
For the bill it gets to high
And when she ask the government for help
They won’t even try
To take her out of poverty
And show her some respect
Because she is old now
Her claim is marked reject
