Homeless People
The smiling people in dumpsters
With debris of
Many clusters,
And homeless people
Thinking about
Their next big dive and every second alive,
They were grinning
And eating
A maggot-sandwich.
Even a homeless lady
Can be caught smiling,
And her eyes were sparkling.
It can make them
Very happy to receive and believe,
A smart phone, pre-paid.
The homeless never
Have to even pay a cent.
A rich man pays for it, ever.
Now with the internet
On their laps, they
Can apply on a resume.
And you know if an approved
Homeless person found
A lost bottle of booze,
He would be smiling, ooze,
And even more so…
If they land a job.
A loner of a man, a slob
Sitting on some steps
Did weight lifting reps.
An attitude that says I can,
And with faith will go far,
Even in the heat with no fan.
If you find them in a bar,
Or eating trash smiling,
Just give them a ride in your car.
