On every street

Cobblestones under my feet

I walk these old streets,

Looking at people in shop doorways asleep

And could society allow all this,

Destitute beings who’ve lost their way

Lives that went wrong flowing down the drain,

Does society do enough or am I pleading in vain

For someway of ending this shame,

And I know it’s not just here it’s everywhere

A global issue that humanity shares,

It’s a fucking disgrace and a blot on us all

That we don’t do anything at all,

Like holding our society accountable

Telling failing governments they will fall,

If they cannot fix this issue which a terrible

Indictment on them for failing them all,

Who are homeless and sleeping rough and are destitute.

    It’s inhumane and disgusting, we all need to clean up the mess made by the “powers that be.”
