Don't Give Up On Life

Don't give up on life though you are feeling down An ageing poor bloke on the poor side of the town Forsaken by your adult children and your ageing ex wife Who now has a far younger man in her life Alone in his one bedroom flat feeling sad And thinking of the good days in life he has had Until in his mid fifties he became unemployed And with a huge drop in financial income came a loss of pride In his late sixties on a pension he lives on his own Of far happier days in life he has known In stories like his there is not anything new People ageing in poverty are not in the few My only advice to him is you do not give up on life Though forsaken by family and forsaken by wife.
