Notes About The Poem

it may sound or read funny this poem I penned, but sadly it is not in reality because right now as I am typing these notes many people are living in the streets today, yes sireee, men women and children and even pets, yes you read it right and here my friend. And this is so sad that we have so many homeless people suffering for whatever reason, they're still out there and need a helping hand. Now specially with the holidays approaching, think about the homeless and anyone that may  have far less than most of us do.

Give Me a Break

Give me a shelter, give me a break 
Give me a job! Give me a piece of steak 
Give me a chance! Give me a break 
Give me shelter for my whole body aches. 

I have no place I can call my own, 
I got no place where to relax my bones, 
I don't have a table and I don't have a bed 
I got me nothing! Not even a piece of bread. 

Sometimes I feel like I am already dead, 
I'm just a human being that needs to get ahead, 
I lost my job, I lost my home and I lost my family, 
Can you please help me and pray for me? 

Give me a shelter, give me a break 
Give me a chance! My life is at stake 
I am a homeless person, but please, give me a break 
Give me a shelter for my whole body aches. 

Give me a shelter, give me a break 
Give me a job! Give me a piece of steak 
I don't have a table and I don't have a bed 
I am homeless.I got nothing!Can you please,give me a piece of bread?

There are so many people on the Streets and it's heartbreaking. Many look down on these people without knowing their circumstances, maybe we need to intake, ponder, and offer something towards said people. Fine poetry Dorian, on a subject/situation that's gonna grow and grow, James.......
