Evicted
Lost our place… again.
The reason, we could not pay.
We needed and wanted to stay.
There was just no way.
The snow is cold, and winter is not a friend.
God give us a place to be…again.
Lost souls on the road,
looking for something that can not be found.
Some here by choice, some not.
Some held hostage by darkness,
others eaten by it.
“Please sir, I am hungry…” a sign…
Don’t look, look away, “I have no time, no time today.”
Do you think I,(they, we, them) will go away?
Where do you believe we (…) will go?
If “we” could… If we had a choice, would we?
Where?
No job, the reason hard to express.
One thing led to another, to create the stress.
A light in your window, could change my day.
Leave me the extra, you wish to pay (pray);
for the blessings on your life,
to not have the strife,
that has drifted past all that you love…
and landed on someone else.
Be grateful…
I (…)
was
you.
