well I might take off for Washington wanna get my feelings heard I might crowd some lazy senator just for them to hear my words it may take some time for pigs to fly except when in the bath 'cause they're in no mood for coming clean or a truthful word to pass you might say that I'm ridiculous to think that someone cares I suppose I gotsta spring a trap so's I can catch 'em unawares I imagine I should dress myself in shoes and socks that match so as to fit inside their head as my plotting I unhatch I will tease them with some banking scheme just to make their ears prick up and once I have their full attention they'll be drinkin' from my cup all the piles of money that they'd make should they only come aboard with eyes aglaze and mouths watering interest had surely soared that of a deer caught in the headlights ...would be my only guess of how they looked when I changed my tune to the plight of homelessness for my concern that I came to share were tales of folks without a roof as soon as they became aware they started acting all aloof we can never count on anything when dealing with they who have the moon for all those people have gone crazy ...crazy as a loon never knowing certain circumstance can steal your piece of pie unaware but for the grace of God homelessness are you and I

Hi heidistuff....this poem is so lyrical, it's like a song I've heard on the radio. A country song with a msg about a serious topic, of homelessness but made in such a catchy cool way. A song like the gambler by Kenny Rodgers that is telling a story...I loved it thanks for sharing!!! Excellent Happy newyear.....
