The Homeless Are in Need
The Homeless Are in Need
by Jordan Richardson
The homeless are in need
People walk pass the homeless but would give a dog a home
They can’t see that the homeless are left alone
The homeless are in need
I’m not surprised because we’ve been messing up for a long time
The homeless are in need
In their lives a lot is going on
I hope a change is going to come
The homeless are in need
Why can’t we spare the homeless change
When they are in pain and feel like they’re in chains
The homeless are in need
Why would we even try to judge instead of
expressing love
Do everything you can to help strengthen the man
The homeless are in need
Some will just walk pass the homeless in their situation
but if the tables were turned they will have a revelation
The homeless are in need
Don’t express hatred
express love like you get love from the man up above
The homeless are in need
The homeless are crying for help
a cry you have never felt
The homeless are in need
Try to help the homeless while they’re in their mess
because later you will be blessed
The homeless are in need
