Homeless Ones

They have composure
All things considered.
The cold and rejection.
Jokes about joblessness
Shiftiness.
Infection and skin cancer.
Loneliness sore aching.


So now they make
“Tent City”
Close to Train Station
Community of like minded.
On lands owned by
Region of Waterloo.
Region presses in court for
Injunction relief.


Judge hears it all.
Patiently.
Does not support it.
Region loses.
Score ONE BIG ONE
For those misunderstood.


Newspapers nationwide
Promote the precedent.
Region pays big legal costs.
Yippee.
