The Landlord
No prospect
it might relent.
Where’s the
cash for heat and food bills,
School
uniforms and the rent?
The landlord’s
not unreasonable,
His property
well maintained,
But it’s not
his fault or concern
If tenants’
incomes are drained.
It’s just a
matter of business,
Not moral dereliction;
He is not
unsympathetic,
But still
pursues eviction.
For him, the
house is not a home,
But an asset
that must earn.
Yet, if rent’s
unpaid, then it’s just
Capital
without return.
D. A.
