Without a Home

I saw eyes stare and scold with no remorse| Passing by making assumptions| Disdained prejudgments| Looking the other way| Never behind the page| They only skim| Never in search| The details they skip| Un-highlighted and overlooked| Can't bear to stare into the eyes crying out| overflowing with tears| They shun without questions| Not knowing the events that led to their present| To make them feel better they laugh and they mock| And spit on the streets they walk| That's their home!| The world forgot and left them with no hope| They pray to the sky hoping for light| It gets cold at night| Though not as cold as their hearts|
