Homeless

an ode to the homeless

"Homeless"

My heart breaks when I see

Less fortunate than me

A soul with nothing at all

On their knees they fall

People judge, look in disgust

with eyes that show their distrust

No sympahty, empathy or pity

So many homeless in this city

Their stories remain untold

As they sit there in the cold

No-one cares for their plight

Makes the streets such a sight

If only they took time to know

The person in this awful show 

They might find they can relate

to how they got into this state

Life hands out harsh cards to some

things they cannot overcome

With care, support and love

Perhaps they could rise above

My heart breaks when I see

People hindered and not free

lying there in the rain soaked streets

all hopes and dreams in tattered sheets
