Scatters through strangers' scraps,
spoilt teens point and laugh,
she'll feast on left over snacks,
fills her belly & crashes on grass.

Her warmth at night, snugly blanket,
given thoughtfully by homeless stranger,
She's used to buses causing rackets,
sleeps in secret places, avoid the dangers.

She's like a needle in a fast society,
 a sweetheart buried in debris
How does a mother abandon her honey,
 junkie ignoring her daughter so hungry

you've captured the harshness of what homelessness and abandonment feels like for a child...was left with a hollow feeling in my stomach. faving
