Image for the poem Roma, we are

Roma, we are

 

It's a socialist haven
how a country treats the homeless
the vulnerable, those living through the cracks, on the other side society tracks

The Russian godfather runs the west end
shows you the ropes
how to live, get by with no money
the best places to eat for free
who to see and who ain't worth your time

Got some Latvians that bring cool things
TV, dvd, xbox hell even furniture
it's all salvage one man's trash
my Polish brother is like a magpie
when it comes to finding things you need
laptops, phones all lost and thrown away
the Pakistani dude down the road
will buy them from you
better rates than cashiers anyway

Igor my Ukrainian brother says Britain is the best
here you can live like Kings
but oh brother if you could have seen
Russia in her glory days

Society's may look down on us
but we got all the help we need
