Poetry that thinks out loud

White road estate

I've lived here from the day I was born.
It's the place I continue to wake every dawn.
Its not a bad old place and far from great.
But still its my home the white road estate.
Kids always hang round the triangle green.
Pass six o'clock and busses are never seen.
Mouthy kids and merry old men.
Work then pub then over again.
So many people set in their ways.
Some don't even make it home for days.
Home of my family home of my friends.
Also home to some unpopular trends.
The harmless but very famous chav.
It surely is the one thing we do  have.
The one thing we can call our own.
Something we made something homegrown.
With the false jewelry and casual clothes.
Anywhere in Chatham and one will be close.
Chatham has much history too.
The dockyard during wars had much to do.
Was also lived in by the great Charles Dickens.
History tells us of  all what happens.
Now he wrote stories that did consist.
Of  his times tales like Oliver twist.
Now its not so bad and not so great.
The part I live the white road estate.
