Anything Is Good When You Are Hungry

ANYTHING IS GOOD WHEN YOU’RE HUNGRY we all need; some more than others, and too often we think that ignorance is bliss, for we can simply choose not to explore, as we of this righteous set for feeling wise ‘it’s not my difficulty,’ is to simply choose to forget; that there is an urgent problem, that surrounds the likes of you and me, but for homelessness folks however they’re not restricted to any group, for it could be me, it could be you, and homelessness is largely an invisible you see, that doesn’t go way and things for them; are just getting worse and worse each day, for domestic violence plays a big part women and kids are forced out to stay, soaring rent prices more families on street, and some of the transient crowd of moving constantly around, from park bench seats, and cardboard tents on beach fronts, or being forced to bunk on down car seats, couch surfing with a mate or friend just to lay a weary head a horizontal flat, and now we must realize; they’re out there! and often we can turn a blind eye, as kids go to school hungrily so, so, for me as a fortunate person, I must ask this question; what is the solution to when someone says, ‘anything is good when you’re hungry!’ Francis Cooper – Mac © (2019)
