Being Homeless, Poor


A voice crying out in the wilderness
      Without a response
No one hears its cries
      As the hoarse winds roar

A rhythm beats out in the classroom
      Without a thought
No one cares he’s there
      In the daily school bore

A sigh breaths out of the parent
      Without remorse
No one sees the abuse
      Inside the front door

A passion burns out in the artist
      Without composition
No one cared so
      She’ll create no more

A lust runs out between the sheets
      Without fanfare
No one saw the marriage ending
      Each burned to the core

A lady passes out in the alley
      Without hope
No one will miss her
      Being homeless, poor
