Homeless


Outside it’s cold ,

It’s dark ,

Nothing but the street lights , 

Cars rolling by , 

Cops flying up and down , 

People laying on the ground ,

People laying in the parks ,

People laying in the most scary parts of the town ,

Homeless is real ,

We loose a lot of people from begin in the cold ,

In the winner time it’s wrost ,

People freeze to death ,

People bones freeze ,

People are hungry ,

We have to help our homeless people , 

They all have a story ,

They all was once on their feet , 

Our young people are homeless,

Our children are homeless,

How can American make so much money & yet& still the poor is more poor than ever ,

How can you afford rent if you old child support,

How can you afford rent if you can’t find a job , 

How can we better these problems,

Let’s start with housing ,

Let’s start with jobs ,

Let’s start with schools ,

Have a apartment today , 

Homeless tomorrow,

Can’t get up unless you go through the circles just to get very little ,

Can’t even pay half of the rent with money from the state , 

They give you high rent but less money ,

They give you high rent but fucked up apartments ,

They give you a voucher but won’t give you low income housing ,
