It is the day
We’ve been waiting for
Them strangers banging
At the door
I haven’t paid the bills
I’m burdened by debt
The landlord’s had enough
He’s taking back the let
We’ve spent many years
Living here
Raised the kids
We’ve drank many beers
But I’m out of work
Sold everything
I’m in a mess
I’d give anything
Where will we go?
Do they care?
All the neighbours
Stop to stare
Are we vermin?
The scum of the earth
No, we’re just poor
We have no worth
The door slams open
They burst in
The time is now
To be put in the bin
I hold my family
Close to my chest
I can’t breathe
I can’t bear the rest

I was too inspired to write this on a whim from just the title of someone else’s work. Thanks for the compliment
