The Breadlines Back In Fashion

A poem by Ryan B Oxley 



The breadlines are back in fashion,
Foodbank beans and cup-a-soup passions,
Queues at the bus stop, 
Poundland passions, 
Everyone is skint, 
Cos' the breadlines back in Fashion!

The breadlines back in fashion,
Cost-of-living, closed shops,
No jobs, no luck, and no compassion,
Everyone is skint, 
Cos' the breadlines back in Fashion!

The breadlines back in fashion,
Foodbank beans and cost-of-living rations,
Queues at the dole club and Primark passions, 
Everyone is skint, 
Cos' the breadlines back in Fashion!


A poem inspired by Sheffield City Centre, and the words of Doctor John Cooper Clarke
