Hope
All round the estate
Single mums take a stroll
Pushing prams.
They sit on benches,
They chat and have lunch:
Some crisps, a diet coke,
Maybe a roll.
A cigarette, dangling
On the glossy lips,
Blows smoke
In their eyes
And tries
To make them cry.
They could weep
Vales of tears
For a life of despair
And berate
The world
For their fate.
But they cope
In the face of adversity
And survive.
The children, asleep
And cocooned
From danger,
Are their only hope
To keep the dream
