Time Shift

Walking through the last few years The High Street suddenly changed. No longer were people going into shops No longer were they buying things. They were walking around chatting, Peering in through the window from Outside, looking and walking away Empty handed. The old order had changed, the old Guard had gone. Old shops closed And new ones opened. Pawn shops, Pay day loan shops, charity shops. These were for the new poor who Didn't realise they were poor at all, For nobody had told them. Austerity Britain eating their money and hopes. Only the robins in the wood with the Blackbirds knew they were rich, for Them nothing had changed. Their World still revolved as it always had done.
