[Owning a house]
Owning a house, apart
Being on all sides land
Used by people
with cries, feet, bodies
Moving under thoughts of their own
Is not a very happy state.
Someday, perhaps a Sunday
Skies reasonably clear,
A little cirrus, and in the west
Cumulus over Lancashire,
There may be voices
Children in jeans or skirts
With yellow hair or black.
What are they doing?
Children with voices and feet
Capable of action, climbing, throwing,
Starting a Revolution maybe
Or reorganizing a society so that
Those who have, have not
And the poor inherit the earth.
