Homeless

Homeless No place to call my own, no where to have a home I live in the streets, dirt and filth beneath my feet Occasionally into the shelters I can stay Where if I kiss their Asses they let me stay I AM HOMELESS There is no trust in the dark and dreary streets For over my shoulder I am always looking Ever afraid of what danger might be lurking Just living is not an option for me, only survival is the key I AM HOMELESS Into the streets come the fakes and the phonies Social, religious and do goodiers too, all shower me with false love Forcing me to give in to all their causes Never hearing or understanding my anguished pleas I AM HOMELESS Those who are in the know, say I don’t want to have a home They say I like to roam and be free That is not true, I do want a home and to be clean To make a difference in a world so mean I DO NOT WANT TO BE HOMELESS But society is cruel, non-caring and elite The world they have created, just can not be Unless they make sure, they have people like me In order to keep the world the way that it is, I cannot be freed I MUST BE HOMELESS Rev Andy 4/5/05
