They remain faceless
Lost, in an unforgiving world
Humanity, is tasteless
On the streets, their lives, unfurled
Sneers from others, laughter
People can be so cruel
Life is a living disaster
Why isn’t this unusual?
Homeless, they fight the sun
Before night and cold alight
Hoping to find anyone
Praying for those who might
Show compassion, lend a hand
Find them shelter from the cold
For they are, just as we are, human
Hoping, they too, can grow old
