Homelessness

Trauma,misery and unhappiness Is a life one lives; Overcoming obstacles and barriers Interacting with carriers Of diseases and affliction Mental health and addictions Days of sadness and depression No help on the horizon Living the life of flight or plight Trying to survive another night Dawn and then the morning comes Thoughts of what the day holds Let’s get out of the slum And entertain with some chums Evening comes and the night is dark Feint sounds of a dogs bark Sleeping again on the bare ground No solace to be found Written my mjm aug 2024
