HOMELESSNESS

HOMELESSNESS Homeless, they are not seeing me. Some stop and stare in silence They don't have the word to say, but when A child reaches out, her mother pulls away "Do not touch that man!" its his choice to stay. Homeless, Out in the street with no bed Nor a place to lay my wobble head The pennies they drop is all i pray But some look away filled with guilt Thinking how i end up this way. Homeless, Out in the cold All i have is a tattered shirt with no replacement From sleeping on the floor, I'm in pain But its nothing compare to the ice cold rain Nor homelessness, hopelessness and loneliness.
