Loose Change


Loose Change

Monique, chic chick with stylish long eyelash
From over the top of her expensive, glossy mag
Sees a young beggar girl with baby, both in rags
Holds out her empty tin cup, for a little loose cash

Reading swish ads in Vogue, she now finds it harder
To ignore the rogue vagrant and monkey-eyed baby
Who both wish to God, muttering, that just maybe....
But no, her fluttering eyes are fixated on ads for Prada

Monique crosses her long legs, sipping her Starbucks
Applies her Channel, thinking ‘ it’s far better to be rich’
Sneering down at the starving, begging brown bitch
And anyway, she says, blinking ’ who gives a flying fuck?’
