This is to draw attention to the invisible people that Live on our streets They are the forgotten. People who see them judged them without knowing Their stories The might be veterans they might be escaping domestic violence or just trying to start again Not All of them are on drugs and alcohol. Dont be an ostrich get your head out of the dirt. Look around you as some day YOU might need a HAND

This world is in a crisis food prices rising hi. Children starving in the world with no heat People die. Homeless begging on the street just to make Enough to eat. Sleeping on concrete floors in cold and rain That never say a word but in their face you See the pain. People walk passed just looking at their phone Never stopping to help the humans with no Home To help these humans we must make a stand. Even if it is food and blankets you can lend a hand.

You emotionally and descriptively nailed the plight of the 'invisible people' who live in our streets. I'm sad when I witness people walking by, whether on their phone or otherwise preoccupied with themselves...never realizing another person's plight. Well done, Paul. Have a great evening, Sara
