Homeless Mother Poem by louis rams

cars would stop at the corner light and see
A homeless woman with two kids was quite a sight.
comments are always being made - go with the family
go on welfare go to the unemployment line they'll
give you help and you'll be fine.!
it is so easy to throw stones but she will not leave
her children alone. temporary help they may give
but it's not enough to live.
food, clothing, medicine too - what is she supposed to do?
family members living in another state and she can't
afford the bus rates,
husband's money went to buy dope saying that he couldn't cope
she us a mother and homeless too what is she supposed to do?
