Hi, my name is Joe.
Spend my life on the street.
Sleeping in the snow,
Looking for stuff to eat.

"Come here little boy,
together we can play games.
Aw, don't you be coy
And run, my name is Ray."

Men like him I watch,
Cause they hide in the dark,
For to grab our crotch,
I don't go in the park.

Pa left us alone,
Ma don't care anymore
She is always gone
People came, they was sore.

Then they put us all,
In a place with bars; and
Sue sat down and bawled,
I ran, just like I planned.

I'm on the street now,
We waifs know who we are,
We even share chow,
So what if we steal cars?

Hi, my name is Joe.
Spend my life on the street.
Sleeping in the snow
Looking for stuff to eat.

This is an awesome poem. It shows how homeless people sometimes get where they are. I truly enjoyed the read!!!
