THE HOMELESS CHRISTMAS ALPHABET
C is for the cold that seeps into my very bones
H is for the hopelessness that won't leave me alone
R is for the right to work, the way it used to be
I just want to have a job and not live off the state you see
S is for the snide remarks I get from working folk
T is try it for yourself it really is no joke
M is for the misery, no job, no home, no fun
A is for the attitude of almost every one
S is for some self-esteem I wish that I could get
Let this be the year I get to tear up my Christmas Alphabet

Having watched the "Homeless" in London and how they work the crowds, use the baby as a prop while "working" in shifts, fight for the best pitch etc it's hard to be anything less than cynical.
At least those selling the Big Issue are making some sort of effort.
This tugs at the heartstrings but has very little to do with the reality.
