HOMELESS I stuff my shirt With newspaper, For warmth. Children tauntingly Point fingers at me, They laugh Whilst my belly growls, In unsatisfied hunger. Adults - side step, Avoiding me, As if looking In their faces, I might infect them With my disease of HOMELESSNESS. They forget That I, like them, Am a child of God. I have loved And been loved. I have borne children Who in turn have borne Children of their own. It makes no difference How I became How I am HOMELESS. I also make no excuse For this situation. What matters is how You perceive me, For then that is What likely I will become. |

Very true on how some people treat those less fortunate with such ignorance and uncaring.Maybe if we all helped a little more than the world might be a little better to live in.i think that if you do a good deed it will come back to you twice as good as what the good deed you have already done.i liked the passion that you put into this piece.Welcome to Passions, my poet friend! |

I grew up going to Chicago and seeing so many homeless people dieing inside and out. It makes my heart weep seeing all the people that don't have anything in there lives accept maybe the shoes on there feet and the coat on there back, and they are still grateful. And then we have all the rich people walking around in there fur coats and fancy diamonds spending thousands of dollars a week, hell sometimes a day. And yet that is never enough, everyone continues to woller in greed and want, then we have the people that have nothing? that's messed up, our society is messed up, and for people to look down on the homeless, you are damn right SPIRIT, we are all equal and we are all God's children. People need to wake up and get there heads out of there asses. This was a very touching poem, nice job. LP1 |
