Analysis of Homeless
William brooks 1959 (Salem)
Walking the streets at night with no where to go. Homeless is the word and yes it is so. Eating out of cans that is meant for trash. No food no money not even any cash. Looked upon as a vagrant with the utmost disgrace. Seems the other person just avoids your face
Thinks your not human no nothing at all. See you out there and won't listen to your call. So now its getting cold what will you do. Where will you go you haven't a clue. No one takes you in just watches you cry. Really doesn't care even if you die. But I will love you yes I do care. See you around and I will share. Jesus loves you all and that you should know. Pray unto the lord and let your faith show.
