The homeless are viewed as uneducated,

people who lack any motivation.

The term used to describe the homeless inlclude lazy,

drug addict, fakes, or bums.

Homelessness includes a constant run,

running from shelters to houses,

finding a place to unpack their boxes.

The homeless are not lazy or uneducated,

 but more so discriminated.

Society has a view in which they have no clue.

Mental illness is a primary factor,

as one lacks a home as their mind is mastered.

Mastered by taunting images,

or issues in constant revision.

Unable to hold a stable job,

the homeless are unequally robbed.

Robbed of their freedom in which they seek,

only to hear what society thinks.
