Listen to poem:
Homeless and Bearfooted On These Streets-My Spokenword
I stand on the concrete ground feet bearing
My eyes filled with tears can hardly see focus glaring
The walls are on fire. Iam locked inside a house
Without Windows curtains walls on the floor
Somehow I'm sensing I'm yet still Outdoors
Homeless and barefooter on the streets
Saliva on my lips I'm about to fall and slit for the tears that I For the increase abundantness I'm engrossed inentitlement
Yet gluttony has found me
In my position yet still in the kitchen
Naked from the knees down
Homeless and barefooter on these streets
My bare feet burning on the city street
Homeless on this concrete ground that I stand on
Standing outside a homeless shelter
and positive trying to do better
As I stand on concrete ground mid summer
Sun's heat bearing down on me Naked feet
On these summer concrete burning scorched streets
Homeless and barefooted on the streets got no shoes to wear or socks just barefooted a few clothes nothing to eat or drink
You see I am just homeless barefooted on these streets
