and neighbors stand on their porches,
and gawk… as you carry boxes and bags,

with tears in your eyes,
and anger stuck in your throat…
with no hope and no direction,
and nowhere to go…
only then, do you know,
that homelessness is!

we battle against ourselves!
the ‘need’ to possess.we strip our senseswith fake morality.we quench our fireswith our limited concepts.we wound our very lovewith the image we present.we defile our truthwith the lies we settle for…we choose fear over freedom,and so break our own wings!
