A stop sign
A stop light
Not unusual these days
Often asked to move along
No one stops to inquire
A man, a woman, a teen
Alone or with children
Sometimes a dog
Often a scribbled cardboard sign
Wanting help, a job, money, food
Weary, sometimes aged or worn
Sometimes sporting carts
The homeless
Or a traveler
These souls
No longer strange in the neighborhood.
There are more and more homeless people and it will only get worse. I watched a programme the other night about employed homeless people! They can’t afford or find somewhere to rent so they stop in homeless shelters. 😕
