Men throw cans in carts together
Learning to live and eat whatever.

Compassion flows from your words. Eloqently expressed, and full of meaning. We have gone horrribly astray, that such words are needed.. Thank you for your song. It weaves a complicated thead. - Will

An excellent poem covering a rare social issue which rarely has been a theme with others.It is the reality till now in third world countries.Emotional, eductional and financial bankruptcy is the cause for these issues.Society has to introspect to find a permenent solution to these problems.A well told story in beautiful words.I rate it 10.

Somethings in life will never change, as long as there are families breaking up, marriages breaking down..people getting caught up in a world of debt..and losing their homes.....there will be homeless people trying to survive on the city streets. It's a terrible fact, that not enough is being done to stop this happening.....We all live in the hope that something will eventually get done about the alarming amount of homeless people and not just single...but sometimes whole families....its very sad. Thanks for covering this topic Lawrence, '10' best wishes Jon

I hope that some things will happen to help out homeless everywhere. Not sure what those things will be, but it is nice to keep hope for the better for them. Looks like the way the economy is going down the tubes there may even be even more homeless. Lets just hope for better things to come. Hope everyone keeps voting! Your poem is a ten. Sincerely, Connie Webb
