No home to go to
tattered clothes
walking in the streets
no shoes on her feet
holding out her hand.

Empty stomach
she has pains
from being so hungry
are you willing
to lend a hand?

The silence of the night
is terrifying for those
whom have nothing
or do they?
Maybe the bums
or shall we call them
the innocent victims of society?

Do they have a voice?
Do they not scream out?
Yes, they do
but are we
willing to listen?
