homeless

catefrances

ever wonder
what befell the homeless
to make them so
do they horrify you
disgust you
do you pity them
what?
do you blame them
judge them harshly
do you say a silent prayer
as you walk past
to your invisible and absent god
oh lord
please keep me from such a fate
do you give thanks
to the almighty
for your warm hearth and home
the love of your family
your good fortune
when they ask for an offering
do you oblige begrudgingly
willingly
or brush past them
like they are a gnat
or some other bug
you can't tolerate
ignorance
do you have a kind word
a greeting with a smile
do you ever think of them at all?

Good work.. compassionate and self aware...most people don't understand that where there are more people than jobs... there will be homeless people..
but everyone blames them while not realizing that anyone could end up there..
