Arches of Waterloo

It’s London and it’s 3am
I’ve stopped to spare a thought for them
Some once husbands, some once wives
All once captains of their lives
Corrugated castles warm
These settlers of the streets
Vagrant knights of nocturne
Share metholated teats
Preachers don their gospel boards
Bearing anecdotes
Of biblical extraction
And pointless holy quotes
Drunks walk free of reason
And dance a curbside dance
The ballet of the bottle
An alcoholic trance
Others cluster comfort
Surround an urn of tea
That volunteers in rain or snow
Supply religiously
Broken social senses
Forsaken ways of life
I reassessed my hardship
How little I knew strife

This is an exceptionally well crafted picture of street life in any big city. I could see the characters and feel the empathy for them while wondering how they ended up in such a state of being. And the 4th verse was my favorite as well.
