The Homes of the Homeless
We pass by them when we
walk down the street. They hold up signs for
help and we turn are back to
them abruptly. We see them when
we go into the grocery store sitting on
the wall with rags for clothes, but we still
turn away with a blind eye. Homeless
is the name that we label them with, but
you would think that they’re at a home now
when you see them looking comfortable on the wall
of the grocery store or in a dark alley. The truth is
they want a comfortable home just like yours; with
a bed, something to eat, drink.etc. The signs that
they hold up is a sign of need and help. If you
screamed for help, you know someone will be
there for you. Think of the signs as a big symbol
saying” Help me please”. We can’t keep turning a
blind eye to the homeless anymore. It’s time to find
homes for the homeless.
