Notes About The Poem

Shelters of Silence

"In the USA, vacant homes by thousands thrive, 
while countless homeless struggle to survive. 
In a land of plenty, such homes stand bare, 
as lost souls grow, wandering in despair."

Hello dear friend Billy. Beautiful words you have used in your touching poem for homeless and shelter seekers but the world is too harsh and hard for such people and would never agree to this. Seeing your page after a very very long time. How is life otherwise. I am not regular on PS but keep trying to place some songs of poem as and when possible. By the way df what happened to your websight in which I had placed many of my Photo poems? Hope you would kindly reply back. WBW Ravindra 19 Jan. 2026
