Home-Less For Sale

Home-less For Sale Judge me not for I have sought Many ways to be free For I watch the setting sun and harm no one As I pray in the raging rain kneeling on my knee For the world is cruel and you will rule To lock me up for my sanity Yes I have no home and stand alone As people see a monstrosity I walk the distance of least resistance But your eyes will blindly see That I’m your mirror as you get nearer For it could also be your destiny If my breath could speak then you would seek To help with my humanity But now the dust and restless rust Destroys the home inside of me.
