every night before closing these eyes
I look up at the ceiling and I
high five the sky coz it's cold
outside where homelessness is
on the rise open your peeps wide
it's no surprise to see human beings
in bundles sleeping on the streets
damnly every overpass underneath
armies of purple brokenhearted
decorated war heroes holding
up signs at the crossroads of
intersections don't get lost asking
for directions when you know
your way home and don't have to
panhandle for something to eat
it's a lot to complain about no doubt
if you got groceries and living a house
you got nothing to pitch a fit about
like Trumps B!tch @ss tweets
not one crumb should fall from
your mouth while eaten humble pie
so many on disability you standing
on your own two feet chewing on meat
it's people out there without teeth
in wheelchairs without knees
in need of love and tender care
you crawl by choice not to mention
all the children in the system
in the hunger games you would be
one of the spectators when you see
the mocking jay congratulate her
don't sleep on this don't you shrug
all it takes is a flood to you in the mud
sleeping on cots in a place unknown
out of house and home go fund me
is how they get their funding
it's a damn shame it's like begging
for change getting by on donations
it's strange how one hurricane can
dump so much rain faster than
the wind can past gas no ones calm
it's hard to relax those who quit
up to two packs nothings certain
and it's certain these ain't light burdens
if you're behind curtains and not dead
chances are you're a few steps ahead
now it's time to feast on fowl sage & yeast
Christmas is on it's way for girls & boys
looking for toys with gleam in their eyes
still believing in lies like peace on earth
