A Homeless Human Being Poem by Dorsey Baker

You're homeless your shelter is the
wind and the rain
You're homeless and your world is
a house of pain
You're homeless with a burden
thats too heavy upon your back
You're homeless
sleeping next to
the railroad track
There is too many homeless people
wandering around
but the world don't seem to understand
that you wouldn't be homeless
if someone
would just lend you a helping hand
You're homeless
a sleeping bag is your bed
You're homeless
just asking for a piece of bread
