NOT HOMELESS

They gather in restaurants
Discussing rising prices
Corrupt politics and religion
Developing new devices

At family gatherings
They talk of absent kin
How their weird ways
Have made them homeless again

In the community of hope
Where NPC's are living the dream
Coordinating plans to meet
Remove the splinter and keep the beam

At the heart of humanity
The scrolls are lighting with finish
The TRUTH of LOVE
Is the gold that radiates and will never diminish

While many count their blessings
And complain of fear mongering reels
The faithful are steadfast
In empty spaces feeling how it feels

...to be at peace without a home
