Homeless

In old rags Biting cold winter night Sleeping in footpath Under open sky Uncared for Abandoned No emotions ~ Only Silence Date: 01/15/2021 Submitted for: 20-Word Max - Do It With Feeling Poetry Contest Sponsor: Line Gauthier

I agree with Harry's comment below, an excellent write which Governments all over this Planet called Earth should read. Maybe the people should govern for the people, or maybe the millionaires should not have to pay high taxes, but be compelled to contribute to an appointed administration which is not corrupt and which could help the needy and destitute. Write on the dear friend, an excellent write, congratulations! Love and hugs, Jenny.

In todays so called society, there should be no such thing as , homeless..each case should be analysed by local authorities, and actioned appropriately.. Keep up the good work, with this a telling poem..Anitha, yes there is enough money collectively in the world to help these people.

Ani, So true...so very sad I cry with injustice of it all. I want to help each and every one of them... Powerful poignant poem. Susan

Ooh! This is powerful -- a powerful portrayal, and a powerful indictment of us as a society that such a portrayal is instantly recognizable. Congrats on your win in the contest. A FAVE for me, Ani. :) gw
