Homeless:Poetry

HOMELESS

Psychologically speaking,

We’re all quite insane.

Financially speaking,

We’re a taxpayers drain.

Religiously speaking,

We’re a very fertile ground.

Anthropologically speaking,

We’ve always been around.

Individually speaking,

We’re not the ones to fear;

But, popularly speaking,

They wish we’d disappear.
