can you see them


can you see them the ones that stand outside of a supermarket begging for money can you see them the ones lying in a park bench in the cold at night. can you see them the ones that you think smell but don't realize that they don't have a shower or a place to wash at. can you see them the ones crying at night because they don't have a place to call home. the ones that so often go unnoticed the ones that only have the clothes on their back to call theirs. we so often ignore the ones that don't have a roof over their heads but cry when we don't have the newest pair of jeans. can you see them the homeless mother, father, daughter, uncle, sister, brother,son, uncle can you them the look in their eyes when they go another night hungry can you see them the mother with her child laying on the ground at night.
