The Homes of the Homeless

We pass by them when we walk down the street. They hold up signs for help and we turn are back to them abruptly. We see them when we go into the grocery store sitting on the wall with rags for clothes, but we still turn away with a blind eye. Homeless is the name that we label them with, but you would think that they’re at a home now when you see them looking comfortable on the wall of the grocery store or in a dark alley. The truth is they want a comfortable home just like yours; with a bed, something to eat, drink.etc. The signs that they hold up is a sign of need and help. If you screamed for help, you know someone will be there for you. Think of the signs as a big symbol saying” Help me please”. We can’t keep turning a blind eye to the homeless anymore. It’s time to find homes for the homeless.
