An additional 700,000 people in the UK are in
 poverty compared to four years ago

This is the first sustained increase for 20 years, the report states, with 400,000 more children and 300,000 more pensioners now in poverty, leaving a total of 14 million people impoverished.
Rising housing costs, alongside higher food and energy bills, debts and an inability to contribute to a pension are some of the reasons behind the increase in figures.

when will we ever learn to look after those not as well cared for as those at the middle
when will we ever learn
to follow God teaching around the poor
but l can not keep waiting for Gods justice
it hurts
l see others hurting
feel that pain
live that pain 
seen at first hand the results
do not want this to keep on being the way

even robin hoods in need of robin hood these days

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
