Use to be a nice town… Catford

​This area called Catford
An area which is part of the Lewisham borough, 
A once relaxed place which is open and where people were considerate and thorough. 

The stress you can feel
The angst when the calmness is no longer here, 
It’s a frantic town where people over talk one another, which now the rest of the world does,
The tension to exacerbate mental health, which you often need to brush. 

Yet we do need stress to function day to day,
Temperaments are not exemplar and need to stay away. 

The place where there is a Cat sitting in the centre of the town, 
And there were shops like ‘Woolworths’, ‘WH Smiths’, ‘Comets’ and several banks that spring to mind,
Reminiscing good memories which were once tied.

Good comes with the Bad
And hey!! The bad does need to stop, 
Authorities need to make a decision and halt this fickle rot.
