The lightbulb swings its glare,
Showing only half at a time.
Though the dank smell tells me enough.
This place is a squatters prime.
The graffiti on the walls,
The soiled mattresses on the floor,
A old cracked gas fire,
Was pushed up against the door.
How can anyone live this way?
They'd have to be desperate too.
But I suppose as shelter for the night...
It'll just have to do.
