There is a shackle shanty grass entwined to make a roof, bent, warped and crooked, but it's existance is living proof, that still people of today live in great and dire need, while English fools sit upon their thrones gluttonous in all their greed.
If the fools could turn their attention to the horrific conditions out of sight, then they may suppress their greediness in aid of anothers plight. For the ground is dry and barren the wet rain refuses to pour, food won't grow without it so empty remains the store.
The only comfort available to them is a hard floor used as a bed, a mound of dirt for a pillow to lay a starving head. They're hungry for some nourishment, they're hungry for some knowledge, hungry to plant the growthful seeds of woodland and new foilage of a shackle shanty town.
