Homeless Clutter
To live a life of poverty and ease,
done purposely with no regard for time,
and no intent to leave a life of sleaze
in tent on sidewalk, ought to be a crime.
Should freedom let a homeless person choose
to pitch a tent in a commercial zone?
Or should our city government excuse
unlawful actions, leaving them alone?
It seems to me if I must mow my lawn,
and paint my house to keep it looking good,
then they should have to pitch their tent upon
a spot approved--a homeless neighborhood.
A city should have rules and special place,
for homeless people needing their own space.
