They walk the streets as we sleep,

searching for a place to rest, somewhere to lay their head.

With no fixed abode, they roam from here to there.

While we soundly sleep, devoid of worry or care.

They weep for all they have lost.

Abandoned

shattered.

Life in tatters.

Nowhere to call home, no anchor.

Homeless.

Heartrending.

Are you familiar with the YouTube channel called “Invisible People”? If not, I recommend it.
