"Homeless."
What do you think of?
Maybe the
Drugs,
Alcohol and
Gangs
They are all a part of?
Those who
Beg for money
Just to waste it all?
Or maybe
You can recognize
The other side.
The more common side
The upside
Of those who are
Shot down
And shunned.
That they need help.
They are not so different
From you and me.
See, 40% of the
Homeless youth
Are LGBT.
You see those veterans signs?
8% risked their lives,
But you and I
Just pass them by.
Is that not a disservice
To not recognize
Their service?
They took the chance
Of dying
Just to come back "home"
With no home
To come back to.
17.7% of people
In the US
Have a disability.
Can we not relate
To the 42.8%
Who do not have
A place
To call "home?"
Don't wait.
Don't hesitate.
Don't miss a beat
To offer a hand
To those
Who need it
