It breaks the most hardened of hearts,
Makes the strongest of people cry.
Human beings so alone, overlooked,
Many of them die.
Damaged from addictions,
Corrupted by it's effects.
Wounded from broken lives ,
Considered rejects.
These are the homeless

I agree with "rainies dream" at the bottom because most people just think about as they are coming down off the highway and see a former war hero asking for help then the light turns green. good job

You've definatly spoken for the many homeless people, especially the ones who got that way through nasty addictions. I commend you!

I applaud people who take the time to look into the world's problems. Homeless people are so overlooked and underprotected. It takes a great hearted person to take the time to write such a beautiful piece about them. I really like the fact that you added such a graphic picture as the background. It depicts homelessness at it's worst. Amazing poem.
