Pantoum to a Homeless
Location
You moved to my street on a Sunday
People pass by but no one sees you
Your fragile home is built every night
Do you still wonder how you got here?
People pass by but no one sees you
But today my eyes are wide open
Do you still wonder how you got here?
Aren’t we ashamed of what we’ve done?
But today my eyes are wide open
Maybe you were a father or a war hero
Aren’t we ashamed of what we’ve done?
I wish I could be a helping hand
Maybe you were a father or a war hero
maybe your courage took your sanity
I wish I could be a helping hand
I wish I could be more than I am
