View from Brixton Gaol
People sheltering in doorways away from grey coloured scaffold skies A momentary respite from those too near turbulent times Bleak houses cry gently against those grey coloured winds As the scaffold skies close in, and the Brixton Prison blues set in A woman wanders down the hill one of these cool dark lonely days A black shawl near strangles her neck as she makes for far away Those bleak houses have stood the long sad test of time The shadow cast by the gaol falls further than those on the inside And the next generation wander carelessly free on the ironic path outside A sadness hangs over the area that has lost its sense of pride Cheery eyed newcomers soon doubt the way they think As the scaffold skies close in, and the Brixton Prison blue set in Tom Webb March-June 2008
