The Homeless Folk

I visited a place
where the poor still live.
They stare into space,
hoping to collect sunlit dreams.
Sirens blare.
Oh, those sirens blare!
Trying to push them
to somewhere else decent.
Yet, they refuse to journey
until they get paid.
They wait to get paid.
A sad truth...
without a payment,
they won't be going anywhere.

I wrote this because I've been seeing homeless people standing at intersections with their signs. I've seen too many homeless people lately...
