We are Homeless
Wrote this poem at three-thirty and thirty-three times
Found living on the streets no reason to rhyme
Pissy benches icy boxes filthy garbage cans grime
Public dryers spinning crazy use to cost a dime
In your bed tonight, do you think about me?
Fighting rats real hard over what you ate at three?
Learned Spanish and all the Roman alphabet
Just to fight an imaginary U.S. Naval Ship
No keys keeping feet on this shaky ground
Like homelessness had never ever, ever been around
Give stars money they will never, ever spend
While his fellow man yearns for a bed to sleep in
Ne'er, judge a hungry human for wanting to be full
When you ate your steak chewing holes full of bull
Many on a list of those who are doing extra well
Forget homeless in America are living in jail
This is America's biggest domestic war
Give peace, warm milk and a key to any door
Rich country of mine with millions to burn
Oh America the beautiful why haven't you learned
This is not about elections or winning more votes
It's about a warm shower with a fresh bar of soap
Not asking for a home for just only me
Give up these roofs for all society
Scarred, war hands gives you rest in your bed
Soldiers on the streets may we rest our heads?
We are homeless.

I am speachless. WOW! A GREAT write!
I have visied many homeless in the prisons.
When they get out they really have no place to go.
I have attened church with the homeless in my town.
They just want love and kindness; they look just like you and me.
They are homeless, some are veterans, some have no family.
They may be homeless, but they still Love the Lord.
They may be homeless, but they still want to be free.

I think this really highlights why we should resent millions of dollars being put into building buildings overseas...
Take care of our own is what it should be!
This is very effective and moving;
structure, wording, rhythm and flow
enhance your powerful message.

I do pray! This is heart wretching!
I know this is true! CHANGE NEEDS TO COME, as I pray for BETTER days to come to the homelessness!
My heart cries for their confusion and pain, as I have written in my poems ~
These unfortunate "HUMAN" people are always in my daily prayers and thoughts! Never a thought away!
You said all this importance very well and with an easy flowww...
THANK YOU!!!!
God Bless Them ALL! Please! Watch over them and give them WISDOM and STRENGTH!
Amen!
WRITE-ON!
Reading your poem and the way it shone through, touched me deeply as I,m sure many others. I live in Australia and sadly, this appears to be universal!
Take care and stay well, Stuart
