Poems about the Homeless and Homelessness
by Michael R. Burch
Homeless Us
by Michael R. Burch
The coldest night I ever knew
the wind out of the arctic blew
long frigid blasts; and I was you.
We huddled close then: yes, we two.
For I had lost your house, to rue
such bitter weather, being you.

Stranger
by Samel Yugalin Emrys
Who is he, sitting alone and lost in thought,
Wandering all around, with no one in sight,
No shelter, no food, yet he stands tall,
Wearing clothes I've never seen before.
Every afternoon, I see him searching for food,
I wonder, was he born into this life,
Or was he made to be this way?
But surely, he must have been well before.

Homeless
by Sharon Morgan
I see you every morning after stepping off my train;
I hear you beg for money, and I have pangs of guilt again
Although I do not know you, I go by what I see
Are you a drunkard or an addict?
Or just homeless with nowhere to be?
I really shouldn’t judge you
You could once have been like me
Loved, cherished, respected, I do not know your history
No doubt you must be lonely,

Our Society must change
by Dr. Robert Ippaso
Does society need a push to be made just,
Can we not together find solutions set to last,
Homelessness and poverty rife with shame,
With people given numbers but no name.
Are we so callous, blind and proud
To block our ears from cries so very loud,
Their wants and needs not our concern,
As we shake our heads with gazes stern.
