missing
forgetting
little poems
a lot
at
present
wrote
a definition
of poverty
as
Charles
Dickens
would
have tried
to express
it
in
a
'Great Expectations'
era
framework
what
few pitiful fragments
of a perfect succinct
analysis
could
I hope to resurrect? ? ?
but anything
is better
than this nothing
tomorrow
i hope
to write anything
life
large stereotypes
will
not
help class
causes!
poverty
exploited Victorian
pitiful poor
a perceived
Dickens
phenomenon
living
within
rise
neglected
deflated
industrial
past
poverty
social
consciousness
mammoth
social causes
past empiric addressed
does Dickens imply?
God should be ashamed?
to allow urban extensive
Victorian raw industrial disease
pitiless soulless exploitative
suffering sweat shops
industrial grind workhouses
scaled ploy aid programmes
to restamp work rat society
education empire dreams
to a mint of their own making
