Homeless

Homeless, 

Homeless becames your name 
Because you decided to leave your Home. 
Coca-cola is no more your favourite  drink  
Because you are addicted to  Cocaine. 

Street is straight but 
Sleeping on the street you don't  look Straight. 
Weed pushed  you to speak foolish Words,
Which provoked some Wisers.

Working in a good company , 
Failing  to organise a place to stay,  
Repute bad your Work. 
You start to hate good people who advise You. 

Life in the street is an open danger to your future bright Life,
Winter is a hard moment for homeless people
 Who wish to be on the streets
 And who don't Want. 

Coming out of the street means
 Progress to new Commers, 
Homeless on the streets  today, 
Because you want to build a new Home. 

Homeless for many years,Because you are drug addict 
And kept escaping  rehab centre. 
Homelessness  now, because of poverty,  
Or because of some major incidents , 
Or because you are  Jobless

Some homeless people became very important leaders Somewhere, 
Assist homeless people , learn their reasons to be on the streets,
 One day you or one of your  relatives, 
 Or friends will be Assisted.

Poem by Alfonso Warally Ngengethe Mussabwa Chris 

MESSAGE: Not all people want to be on the streets. It is  the beginning of the bright future life of some hustlers in big town. 
It is the comfort zone of some failures. 
It is a comfort zone for some poors
Learn to help homeless people as you don't know more about your future.

I like this poem. I can't imagine what it is like to be homeless. Different circumstances are never considered. It's always the person's fault and nobody tries to understand or find the real reason someone lives on the street. Good luck. Dave
