All Because
All Because
____________________________
Please help me, Lord,
for I am alone
I stay without food
and I haven't a home.
People pass me by,
afraid to say hello
cause I look very different
or I cough with a cold.
My clothes are somewhat tattered,
I move from place to place
but people are the same
I see it in their face.
I wish they knew me,
and what I've been through
I once had it all
and it was all new.
But life took its course,
things went all wrong
so I do what I must
to just get along.
I've tried to work,
but they won't hire people like me
filth and tattered rags
is all that they see.
So at times, I must beg,
having to swallow my pride
people can be blessings
but it still hurts inside.
I wish we were friends,
but life is so funny
how people are different
when it's all about money.

( Just wrote because Of all the homeless people you see,
and I just wonder if this is how some of them feel.) Just from
my own perspective really.
