Homeless

I've sat and I've pondered how fairness could be Some people convinced it's so simple to see But obviously their not the ones who've been told To vacate their houses and go sleep in the cold You who are out on black coat and tie dates While others eat garbarge with dirty hands and no plates Those with bellies tight as balloons full of air Others with sunk in chest filled with pain,grief,and,despair Doctors appointments blew off because they just can't be made While others can't see them there's no money to pay You might ride in a limo and have someone else drive While others pray each day just to stay alive These are people you see just like you and I Can't live the dream though they've tried and they've tried We need to think and decide how lucky we are We can have warmth as we drive home in a nice cozy car So we need to remember before we crawl snug into bed......To Say A Prayer For The HOMELESS That They Don't End Up DEAD!!!
