The Street Is Your Home Poem by Dorsey Baker

Baby the streets
They use you and
You use them
Baby you don't need no house
Because the street
Is your home

You know everybody
In the street
And everybody in the street
They know you!
You love the street
And the people of the street
Yes indeed
You do
Baby you don't need no house
Because the street is your home

It's a home
That don't need no roof
It's a home
That don't need no windows
It's a home
That don't need no doors
No walls and no floors
A place where
The darkness
Is never gone
Baby the street is
Your home!
