Give Them a Safe Home
an original poem by Jason White
Give them a safe home,
give them a healthy place to lay their heads.
Happiness is the result
of having a place to rejuvenate.
Don't assume that a roof over my head
means I am okay.
I know that things could be worse
but better abuse
is still not okay.
The hidden problem
is killing us all.
I don't fault you
for having a mansion to live in.
I only ask you give me and my children a chance.
This isn't freedom
if you're suffering so deeply
that you can't get out of bed.
Don't tell the person
eating out of a garbage can
that it is their choice
when getting a job isn't even on their radar.
Don't tell them,
don't tell me,
that it is our choice
for you to be greedy.
