Homelessness

Homelessness, the state of having no home or permanent residence, from birth, three weeks in, place to place, state to state, city to city,

Most times in a residence not permanent, with a short lived experience around mom, poor execution by dad, from being kicked out of places because of ignorance, judgment, hidden agendas & poor choices, adapting to the next step is key,

Selling dimes for nickels in foreign streets, not wanting to takeover, just committing to getting a meal to feast, sleeping in laundromats, washrooms, cars, & often on the street,

While us out on the street usually paid, not through monetary funds, but paying for the fraudulent mistakes others exchanged to give people with more a dismayed view, not just to look down upon, but to look past without a glance

We all wonder when can we catch a break, that opportunity, to be freed of the slum trash,

Some coming from high platforms because we all allowed defeat, but when we stopped begging & started to finesse, that's when we found something to eat, unfortunately finesse hungered the greed again which us of high platforms feared before we began to regain the blessings long deserved, that has never been placed in my hand

All that's asked is to sleep with peace... #Homelessness
