Petes Poetry
Homeless
It's a gamble on the streets.
full of lies and deceit.
stars for a blanket, and earth as my bed,
yet I still thank god that I'm not dead.
I eat charity food in the park.
for god has blessed some with good hearts.
collecting cigarette butts to roll my next joint.
itls a stupid habit, and there is no point.
yet addicted to life, as we all die.
but just when, it's up to the big bloke in the sky.
it seems everyday I hit another low.
that's just how it is without any dough.
a fool chasin dreams, that seem so distant now.
like that day will never come, for me to make that wedding vow.
without that dream, comes the shame, loneliness, and loss.
for even love and care has a cost.
bankrupt and broke in every material way.
that's why tonight on the earth I lay.
I pray to god, that soon I'll find a home.
for nobody likes to be homeless and alone.
