Thanksgiving (homeless plight)


while some are home a plenty
and some have narry a one
the plight is of many
where never before had this light shown

policies a bound
to turn even more
to this plight of renown
rich will endure

homeless and cold
discarded and torn
the future can't be foretold
many ask why was I born?

thru no fault of their own
some are homeless and sick
sleeping on a bed of stone
living a life they didn't pick

society breeds its own
more prisons for mentally ill
a luxury is an ice cream cone
they don't lack positive will

why in the land of the free
I wondered how could this be
people, kids starving, cold and lonely
and there if not for God go we
