--

The children of the streets
Have all grown full with deceits
In a sunder of feats
Unacknowledged by elites.

They have sung their high strung beats
And played futbol without cleats
While the fortunate read Keat’s
Bright Star; they hear songs from deadbeats.

They have finished their sweets
Without pause from defeats
By a society focused only on tweets.
These children will die somewhere on the by-streets.
