Concrete Pillow #Diversity Saturday

More about Concrete Pillow #Diversity Saturday

It is hard, cold and unforgiving
All morning, day and night
Many think I chose this life for me
They say it’s not their fight.

Sometimes the hunger really sucks
But I do have my pride
I wont beg, so if I must
In the garbage I will dive.

My one pair of stockings
are so filthy and so stiff
I try to wash them in the public fountain
Since I wont likely get new ones as a gift.

I while away the hours
I just try to get through each day
I wish there was a job for me
To earn some honest pay.

I watch the traffic going by
Busy people to and fro
It is though I am not even here
No one will say hello.

It is now time to lay down to sleep
I pray the Lord, my soul will keep
And whether or not I die before I wake
All homelessness in this world, please erradicate.
