Welfare Day!

~ Welfare Day ~

Living in a dizzy array

there's so much on display

all the shelters

where I've stayed,

so much can be said about all the people

the ones I've come to know

Their stories shared along their path's

towards improvements

money spent

sometimes it's clear what that’s meant

`some event!'

No place to rent,

They're hard to find

nothings for a dime,

something to afford

no more need be said.

Bed bugs a riot there everywhere

so not just anything will do

after just one has bit you

beware of what else might get you

despite what you're trying to do,

It's nothing new

so it's been said

a thousand times before,

knowing what's in store

but hard times don't mean the end

especially when you've got some friends,

a show of strength ones fortitude

A determination to get through to someplace better

someplace new,

A room with a view

something good has come your way,

this time around

Finally

on Welfare day!
